Commissioner Mahany requested the City arrange a ceremony for the dedication
as soon as possible.
She said Kim House and Liz Starwick asked her if the City would donate $10,000
towards this year's art festival as they felt with all of the COVID restrictions the event would cost
more than the years past. After a brief discussion, Commission Austin asked if the City has helped
fund events like this in the past and asked the Mayor and fellow Commissioners to see if they
could each raise $1,000 towards the event.
Commission Mahany said since she has been Commissioner she has always baked
desserts for the City employees for Christmas. She had conversations with Fred Fosson, Human
Resources/Risk Manager Director and Mr. Bonaparte and they have suggested she wait until the
summer to make her dessert buffet, due to the pandemic.

their 2"' State Championship game and wished them safe travels and good luck. He said Happy
Holidays and Happy New Year to all Directors and City staff and he appreciates everyone greatly.

like to review a contract or attachment.
Commissioner Mahany asked the Commission if they would mind if they sent
something to Commissioner Britton, due to her and her family being ill. The Commission agreed.
