Commissioner comments:
Don said Torre is interested in music in Wagner Park and it will be called
Sunset in Wagner Park and performers will be near the bathrooms either
Friday or Saturday. Don also mentioned that the roundabout is not well
presented for the entrance to Aspen. We should be able to plant flower and
use Sister City flags.
Bill also said the roundabout is hideous and it is a prominent entrance to
town.
Siam said the projection for the lighting is expensive and maybe we can
have X gamers sponsor it.
Ecobar — Andrew said Steve Barwick, city manager agreed to allow them
out for the summer. Andrew went to the tenants on the mall and all the
tenants like it. It has been deemed to be out there in the summer. They are
grilling etc. and they have cleaned it up.
Jim said everything is permanent at the site; the hours are off and they are
mixing drinks. The mall lease needs to be rewritten.
Kathy said the attorney is looking at the mall lease.
Jim said Escobar is leaving stuff under the bar. Andrew said he will do a
site visit.
CCLC mentioned the Outside magazine weekend. The board requested
Kathy find out how many heads are in beds and was it a success. Possibly
get a report from the ACRA.
