Summary

Council confirmed Santa and volunteers for the Winter Extravaganza and discussed celebrating the U.S. 250th anniversary, considering a separate carnival-style event or tying it to National Night Out to maximize turnout.

Council members confirmed Winter Extravaganza plans: Santa is secured and Mayor Lisa Marvin will read to children; the Lions Club will provide volunteers and Danita Traut is coordinating crafts and activities. Parks staff will prepare site work (including a $1,200 fill for the volleyball court) and the city will arrange sprinkler winterization.

Council also revisited ideas for marking the 250th anniversary of the United States. Because the July 4 holiday falls on a Saturday, council members discussed hosting a dedicated carnival or scheduling celebrations in coordination with National Night Out to increase participation. Council left the item in unfinished business for more planning at future meetings.
