Member Hodges stated that the Committee should not be involved in the appeal process for Villagefest;that it is important to start Villagefest on time; that it may be time to address the issue as to the auspices of the Villagefest Committee; that it has been productive to have the Committee under the Parks&Recreation Commission; that the Villagefest floundered last year on its glory; that the Villagefest needs leadership; that the rules need to be implemented; and that it would be a mistake not to take action. Member Schlendorf stated that during the Committee meetings, the Parks and Recreation Commission member did not have a problem with the changes made to the rules and regulations.

Member Schlendorf questioned if the system could be installed and not use all the channels. Member Reller-Spurgin recommended a slow growth program that could be completed in two years; and noted that it is difficult to allocate the funding when the parks and pools are being cut. City Manager stated that leasing of the equipment overall is more expensive; and that the balance is in a six year payback. Member Lyons stated that a slow growth program of two years may allow the parks and pool to stay open; and that the matter could be delayed to research any alternatives.
