the Peninsula, they never make it to Kenai.

Bicentennial Commission.

of the Bill of Rights. There should be come tie-in
there. There are a lot of potential national speakers
that will be available. He also suggested a
Bicentennial Moment - 30 second tidbits on radio or
small notes in the paper noting the Bicentennial.
Councilwoman O'Reilly noted the physical facilities as
mentioned in Mayor Williams' memo should be looked
into; we should not forget the visual and performing
arts. She noted the City is only four years younger
than the Constitution. councilwoman Monfor suggested
we contact other cities that have had centennial or
bicentennial celebrations. Mayor Williams noted
Administration and Council will support the Commission.
He has proposed they have a tentative plan in"three
months. The three local legislators have taken an
interest in this, he hopes to generate support
