Commerce for funds in the amount of
$2,000 from the City to assist in presentation of the Centennial Parade on
October 18. Janice Boer, 912 North Lowell, stated she did not feel the
Santa Arm Exhibit at the Orange County Fair was worth the money expended
for it. Councilman Markel remarked that little cooperation was received
from City Hall for the 4th of July Parade held by the South Main Improve-
merit Association. He expressed the opinion that this Council has already
appropriated sufficient funds for Centennial events and that funds requested
should come out of the appropriated amount in the Centennial budget.
It was moved by CouncilmanMarkel, seconded by Councilman Herrin, to
deny the request. Councilman Herrin reiterated his opinion that funds
for this type of event should come from the private sector of the economy.
The City Manager explained that the City has contributed approximately
$2, 000 annually for the past eighteen years to put on the Christmas Parade,
and that this Centennial Parade would be a substitute for the Christmas
Parade which would not be put on this year. Councilman Markel stated
he did not want to substitute any funds the Council is going to appropriate
for a parade for a Centennial Parade rather than a Christmas Parade.
Councilman Herrin remarked that he was not aware this would be in lieu
of the Christmas Parade.
