The Committee reviewed the application and it was clarified that the funds were for the costs
associated with having a Pumpkin Painting Booth at the City of Kenai Fall Festival. The Parks
and Recreation Director noted additional pumpkins were being donated and the applicant's
intent was to charge $2.00 for the purchase and painting of a pumpkin, and that this was a pilot
fundraiser for the First and Fifth Grade field trips. It was further noted Mountain View
Elementary would run the entire pumpkin event.
Concern was expressed about the new charge for pumpkins while in the past the event and
pumpkins were free to the public, noting this was the fourth year for this event and it had been
successful.
All Members agreed to table the decision so the Parks and Recreation Director could obtain
more information and clarification.

Director had more information; Member Randle SECONDED the motion. There were no
objections; SO ORDERED.

change in application to just requesting funds for paint supplies; the City would donate the

to the public in support of the school while offering the pumpkins alone at no cost.
