Under old business the new concession stands at Volanta Park were discussed
and Eddie was asked if the Mayor had been able to get out and see where we
planned to put them. Eddie said he had not seen him out there but that did not
mean he had not been out there, that he had staked them out. Money for these
were talked about and Mike said we will worry about that when the time comes
to pay the bills.
Eddie was asked about the Coca-Cola check and he said that the check had
been received but they did not specify how they wished it to be spent.
Discussion followed on different ways to use the money at the park. It was
finally decided that Eddie could come up with a price list on different items and
we could decide by discussion and elimination on pricing. This was tabled for a
month to gather information.

and report back.
