Planning For Grand Opening
Based on the work session discussion surrounding the grand opening, I would propose
the following as a method of getting to some decisions on the gala/grand opening.
The fund development committee will be meeting on March 27, and I would ask that
they spend the majority, if not all of that meeting, talking about the gala and grand
opening so that they become familiar with the goals, the activities, and the
responsibilities surrounding the event. Hopefully they will also give us their feedback
on their thoughts and ideas about the draft plan, which we reviewed at the work
session.
Secondly, I would suggest the Council meet on April 1 to decide on a headliner for the
opening. If you have any ideas or suggestions for headliners, please contact me prior
to the April 1 City Council meeting.
Finally, the gala event committee can act as the steering committee for this event, and
it will meet at 6 p.m. on April 10 and 24, and future meetings. The work associated with
putting this on will fall under their jurisdiction.
I will ask the City Manager to publicize the dates of all of these meetings so that we are
in conformance with the open meeting law, and that makes these meetings open to all
Council members who wish to participate and attend.
I would appreciate your feedback to this approach.
