OLD BUSINESS

 

Barn Report
Updates included information that Royce Jarrendt is willing to put drawings together for an “open air” town facility and when done & county approved, the CBA will take bids for the construction work.  Helen Buller indicated a new roof, concrete & water drainage makes it acceptable for industrial use and also noted that it is stabilized.  Overhead lighting still needs to be installed.  Karen Arnold suggested that the building be advertised to potential users. 

 

Fridays in the Park
Due to inclement weather and conflicts on the 1st Fridays this summer, the Friday in the Park program did not really take off – Donna Netschert is willing to try for Saturdays next year.  She indicated that the Labor Day party in the park was a success. 

 

Clifton Day Update
Everything looks a go for Clifton Day – we have several new sponsors and those volunteers assisting with parking in the lots will now be equipped with radios.  Tommy’s team attempted to distribute flyers on the cars at the VRE parking lots, but were asked to stop, as it was deemed unwelcome solicitation.  Tommy Peterson will, again, be hosting a VIP party for the sponsors – catered by Outback Steakhouse.

 

Playground Committee
They had nothing to report, as a PC meeting will be held after this meeting.

 

Brigadoon Committee Report
This committee will be meeting next week & has nothing to report at this time.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

Primitive Baptist Church
Needs an overseer – to watch over the property & ensure it is locked & unlocked properly when in use.  Karen Arnold suggested we advertise on the CBA web site. 

 

 

Upcoming Events

 

Halloween Candy Distribution
Diane Dygve will, again, take on this responsibility and ensure that candy can be donated at the Clifton Store & if necessary, picked up there, too.  There was discussion that many Clifton residents ran out of candy for Halloween 2003 & that more would be needed.  Wayne Nickum made a motion, which Lynne Garvey Wark seconded, that Diane be given authority to spend up to $800.00 for Halloween candy.  The motion was approved unanimously.
