and confusion as to how we manage the budget with now having less than past years <br />funds. She also feels like there is a disconnect about what is happening at City Council <br />because we no longer have a council member present at our LCC meetings - as we did <br />in past years. Leah wrote to the City Council and heard back from Kyle Brown <br />(representative from ward 3) and Maxine Most (ward 2). Leah read her letter that she <br />wrote to City Council. She states in her letter some of her concerns about the budget, <br />Summer concerts, and the structure of the stage and cost of audio/ performers. Council <br />Member Most responded and asked the Mayor to triple the budget. Council Member <br />Brown said that they are going to end up nickel and diming the surplus of the City <br />Council's budget to accommodate the LCC. Leah asked for an extra 5k stating that that <br />would be a big improvement. <br />- JR makes a note that he is frustrated that even with sales of the Jake Leg <br />concert, we still get penalized in the budget and end up with less funding <br />because of it. He throws around the idea of even not charging for tickets <br />and simply paying the artist in hopes that it will not eat into our funding. <br />Mark agrees that the way that the budgeting of JR stated situation does <br />not make sense. <br />b. Leah thanks the team for contribution to the Community Park Summer Concerts. <br />I. Beth thanked for food trucks, JR for the bands, and the rest of the LCC. <br />VII.

Staff Report (Erica Schmitt) 10 min <br />a. Update on Zoom/virtual options <br />- Erica has been working with the City Clerk to see if we could have some opinion <br />for zoom hybrid. <br />b. Open Government Training for Advisory Board Members <br />- 5 members of the board were not able to make it to the training this summer. This <br />needs to be done once every 2 years. The make up date will hopefully be in <br />October. <br />- Other board trainings, like Fair Practices, will not be happening for the remainder <br />this year. <br />- Meredith noted that if any members of the LCC are stepping down from their <br />positions then that is reported to her. <br />c.
