Council discusses Lake Fest coordination, holiday events and buying a permanent Christmas tree
Summary
Council members discussed coordinating Lake Fest entertainment and other community events with a pre-meeting committee and floated buying a large artificial Christmas tree to save recurring costs, deferring detailed planning to upcoming meetings.
Council members discussed coordination for Lake Fest, Christmas on the Square and other community events and agreed that holding a Lake Fest committee meeting an hour before the February council meeting could help resolve scheduling and entertainment decisions.
Members also raised the idea of purchasing a large artificial Christmas tree to avoid annual replacement costs and travel to procure a tree. One council member observed that a permanent artificial tree could save money over time despite upfront expense; members asked staff to consider budget implications and to include the idea in next month's agenda.
The discussion reiterated that multiple committees and nearby jurisdictions (including Russell Springs and the county centennial committee) are planning overlapping activities and that better coordination would reduce conflicts and duplicate efforts.
