4
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:15.840
Motion motion passes. Okay. And then the next thing on is our financial report. And in looking with it in comparison to last month, nothing has really changed in the general fund or in the special projects fund. They are the

5
00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:32.400
same. We have not paid anything out. >> I move to approve. >> Second. >> Any objections? All those in favor? >> I >> opposed.

6
00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:49.759
Motion pass. >> Okay. On our cultural exchange program, the outbound was Samuel Blumbberg and he left on June 8th. He's returning on August 28th and our inbound comes next Monday. He will be here if his flight's

7
00:06:49.759 --> 00:07:07.520
on time by 11:30 a.m. on Monday morning. Um, I will pick him up at the airport. I've had communication with him and he knows who he's looking for and he will keep me posted on his flight status um so that we can connect outside of

8
00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:22.160
customs at the airport because you'll have to go to customs here in Minneapolis. And then I have also communicated with Brian and Mary Lou um and I will keep them posted as to when they can expect us to arrive

9
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:38.560
in New. We'll probably stop and eat and on the way I'm sure he'll want some good food. Okay. And then um Brian has agreed to take him out to the rental car, get it either on Monday afternoon if it feeling seeing how he is or if he wants

10
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:55.280
to wait till Tuesday and then he'll take him out. He will drive him around New and show him all of the sites and things that um he needs to know where he's going to work, how to get there. um go over some things with him and then um they'll pick up um Brian will sign the

11
00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:12.319
contract for the insurance and he'll bring that contract up to Lisa so they can get the insurance on the on the vehicle. So I think we're all set and ready to go. Um we have Mary Lou and Brian for the six first six weeks and I

12
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:28.000
talked to Jim Bartles again today. He can only do the second six weeks. So, he is on the burner unless we would find somebody else. >> He has agreed. Okay. >> Well, thank you for doing that. >> Larry suggested the Howards in case

13
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:44.560
which I think is a good suggestion. >> I I can reach out to them >> just in case Brian doesn't want to do it or >> Connie. But I did tell him that we have asked quite a few people and it doesn't work out for their schedule and he had and that you had said you would do it. So, um, he said, "No, you would do it."

14
00:08:44.560 --> 00:09:01.120
Um, I said, "I'll keep looking, but >> I'd like to get this all tucked away before >> he gets here on Monday." Okay. >> And for Howard's, which Howards is that? Is it? >> It was uh Greg and Lorie Howard. >> Oh, okay. >> Their daughter was one of our mobile

15
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:17.120
phone and they hosted a couple times for our inbound. >> So, reach out to them. So, um, that takes unless anybody else has any questions. Um, we'll need to Do you want Brian to reach

16
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:32.320
out to you, Al, about where he needs to meet for Barbarian Blast for the parade? >> Yeah, you could do that. >> Can I give him your number? Okay, that's one other thing I forgot. And don't we have Bob Webb is going to

17
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:48.880
get him some tickets blast or >> and I'm sure Brian will um >> them too. They'll take care of that. Okay. So, and I think that takes care of our

18
00:09:48.880 --> 00:10:05.600
cultural exchange unless anybody else has got anything else they need to add or have questions on. Um, under old business, the Brown County Historical Society Museum Summer Program Subcommittee update. Carolyn and Ellie,

19
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:21.519
everything's still on track. I was thinking, Caroline, we can maybe check in with Christina now. Anytime now. >> She was back today. I saw her at the country club >> and I worked tomorrow and Wednesday. >> Perfect. >> We will firm everything up, but everything is as the same as we were, I

20
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:35.920
think. >> Are you giving us eggs? No, Tony was giving us eggs. Tony was giving us eggs in August. August probably could >> produce eggs. Give me eggs. >> You're going to make what?

21
00:10:35.920 --> 00:10:52.800
>> We're going to make Spetszley. >> And some German words. And >> Ellie's making I'm assistant Spatzley. >> And the date for that again. Wait, >> is it August 11? >> Yeah, it is. August. Nope. Rozets.

22
00:10:52.800 --> 00:11:09.440
at 13th. Thursday the 13th. Does that sound right to you? >> Yep. >> So, >> cuz we had brought Stan the 11th and 12th and then Spencley the 13th. >> Okay. >> Knows that Dan will need to be off to attend some of these events. >> He Yes. I talked to him about that the other day and he said that's never a

23
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:26.240
problem. All he has to do is tell him in plenty of time >> and and he can do that because he's going to work a number of jobs. I I think that'll be the most fun for him to not just cook but to bartend and especially drive the trash. I want I think um Lisa sent Tim a list of

24
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:41.519
>> she did >> everything that's required >> and we talked about it and he's >> he said is this right yes is this right oh then he was very happy with it he's very excited about doing this so I'm happy it's another place that will be fun for kids to work in and good and

25
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:57.760
they will learn so I like that >> we'll see a good >> cross of the absolutely there too >> okay and the next one is advertising and promotion subcommittee marketing plan update Um, I've read through it. I don't think I have anything that I would

26
00:11:57.760 --> 00:12:14.880
change on it. So, now what is our next step for this? >> I suppose we'd have to put it on the agenda to adopt it. >> Okay. I will have it put on the agenda for next month. >> Okay. >> And um have it so we can vote on it or

27
00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:30.480
adopt it. I have a sort of semi advertising question down. Ellie and I are going to be working on the kiosk and you know how we have a huge problem with the small pictures and the sun and everything. I

28
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:47.839
can buy the banners that you see on Broadway. They took the old banners down from Broadway and now they've put up a new set of banners this year. So I Sarah Sweeney called me or wrote me or something today and said we could get a copy of each one of the different

29
00:12:47.839 --> 00:13:04.320
banners for 50 bucks. That's what they would cost. Now we for sure could put that we they've already stood the test of time. You know they've been hanging outside for a long time. Is anything remember what they all what what they had out there? Is there anything you think that would work in our backside

30
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:20.639
for example of the kiosk that would I mean would say new the pictures would be new >> Turner the historical society building >> um the glockenfield one would be a good one to have in there. >> You just want I was thinking we just put

31
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:37.120
them on the back of them either that or put them on the back side totally and you could see that just would be would save us money for sure. Filling both those sides takes a lot. What do you think of the idea? We can bring it We'll bring it up for next time, but I I should tell Sarah not to sell them to

32
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:53.120
somebody else. >> Put it in the minutes and then we want to put it on the edge for >> We'll do that for next time. >> For what kiosk is it? Or >> the one we have down at the by Johnson Park that >> Oh, okay. I wasn't aware. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Well, you can get involved with helping

33
00:13:53.120 --> 00:14:09.440
us decorate, too. We It's Yeah, it's darling. They made it, but it gets so much sun. >> Yeah. And have fun with it, Tamara. >> Camera. It's cute. It's a little Billy and then it's got a little sputz on the top. A little bird that they that is our >> symbol, their symbol for new. So, it's a

34
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:25.120
cute sides to do. And I I literally I put pictures in, you know, of the new kids coming or whatever. And I always put a list of who's on Sister Cities, who's always been on, and some old pictures. And then sometimes the sun fries it so much that they sh they shred

35
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:41.920
into a thousand little thing. It's bad. >> Well, I'll have to check it out. I have not seen it. So, >> it look still looks I looked at it the other day. It's still okay, but it needs to be updated. We're ready to work on it. >> When you're working on it, maybe I can bring Jan down there and take a picture of it with somebody. >> Excellent. We'll do that. Yeah.

36
00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:59.360
>> He sees it and >> something we can put on our page. >> Okay. Other old business. If not, let's move along to new business. Their welcome reception for Jan or John is on uh has been moved from July 28th to July 21st at the Kel Club

37
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:15.199
with a social hour at 5:30 and appetizers at 6:00. And the invites will be distributed and I was talking with Lisa last week. She's going to get those out. Okay. They don't do it on Monday. That's why we had to change. And when I first put the first day down, I had a reason for all the way at the 28th and

38
00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:30.399
somebody talked me out of it. I don't remember. But it's better that sooner. >> Yeah. Feel like two whole weeks. We don't want that. >> Yeah. I'll just barely make the 21st, but that's fine. I'll >> you

39
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:45.680
July is busy. Okay. >> And we have city council on >> Tuesday. >> But so if we're late, that's why. >> Um the broadstand schedule has been completed and is filled. Um, I will make

40
00:15:45.680 --> 00:16:01.440
sure when I open it on the first day on Tuesday, um, I will bring the tent out. I will bring, um, all the stuff I have, the boats, things like that that I have. Um, we did not use those wooden signs

41
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:16.560
the last couple times. You think that was >> Yeah, I'll pick them up, but they're such a >> I don't remember anybody talking about them or saying anything to us. >> We have the banners that we tie in the front. Don't we hang a banner in front? >> We did. >> I think that's good.

42
00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:33.680
>> I think recognition with the banner. >> Yeah, I do, too. I'm just saying that it's a lot of work to >> Well, you're worrying about them tipping over the way or anything, >> getting them out. Yeah, I say we don't. >> Okay, so looks like we got everything covered. Um, and we don't have to worry

43
00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:51.519
about that. So, that's on the 11th and 12th. And any other new business besides the fact we're going to add the things to the agenda next time? I think

44
00:16:51.519 --> 00:17:07.039
we are. >> Do I need to put anything in the minutes about what you want added? >> Yeah. Would you please? >> What do we want added? >> We want to adapt adapt adopt the >> the advertising. I got that in. >> And then um the kiosk the idea for the kiosk.

>> parade? We don't Oh, that's right. He's going to write on your float, right? >> Do we need to put a banner up? I mean, we can get it made again. >> You don't have to. >> It usually gets attached to the car. What about the banner that we put on? >> Couldn't we hang that? Yeah. in the broadstand.

47
00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:55.039
>> It just talks about sister cities. >> Yeah, that'd be fine. >> Otherwise, we the car ones are probably here. >> They are here. I think you just have to have the name changed. >> Yeah. >> So, and that they and they're metallic. Mhm. So, that wouldn't work on the wagon anyway, would it? >> Okay. Yeah, >> it would.

Okay. We don't have to spend the time to take them out, get the name changed, make sure the spelling's all right,

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:26.320
