Suds & Songs praised; council readies fireworks logistics and considers recreation board reclassification
Summary
Parks and Recreation leaders reported a successful Suds & Songs event with bands and activities; council approved sending a fireworks letter and noted seven food trucks at $200 each; members proposed reclassifying the Recreation Board to a committee, which requires an ordinance change and solicitor input.
Recreation coordinator Becky Gibney told council that the Suds & Songs event went well, highlighting bands, face painting and volunteer support. Members of council thanked participants and volunteers for the event's success.
Council instructed staff to send a fireworks notification letter and reported there is already a Facebook post announcing the event. Ms. Gibney said seven food trucks have been secured at $200 each.
Council members also discussed a proposal to change the Recreation Board's status to a committee. Because that change would require an ordinance amendment, members agreed the issue should be taken up at the next council meeting with solicitor input.
No formal vote was taken during the work session; council directed staff to include the recreation-board ordinance change on an upcoming agenda for legal review.
