Commission plans a July 1 social to coincide with city park pop-ups and weekly events
Summary
The commission agreed to hold its summer social on July 1 to coincide with newly scheduled Wednesday pop-up events in the park; members discussed pavilion use, food trucks, and a potential revenue-sharing tap arrangement.
Commissioners agreed to schedule the commission's summer social for July 1 to align with city-sponsored park pop-ups that run Wednesday evenings in July. Members discussed logistical details including pavilion availability, start time (5 p.m. suggested), use of food trucks and a proposed arrangement in which a percentage of beer-tap sales would support the commission's activities.
One member described the idea and noted coordination with Urban Chestnut and park programming: "They're paying a rental fee... So any, all purchases of the park beer, you get 10% of the profits." Commissioners agreed to restart an email chain for volunteers and potluck planning and to promote the event on social media. They also noted the pavilion could be used for casual show-up attendance rather than a tightly scheduled program.
The commission discussed flexibility for subsequent socials, including moving venues if needed, and agreed to document the event with photos for social-media outreach. Staff will confirm arrangements with the city and event partners and share volunteer sign-up details with commissioners.
