4. OLD BUSINESS
a. Beautification Awards
Jeanene Benedict has volunteered to coordinate the judging efforts. Barb Nord had
provided a city map to use to divide the city up into sections for judging. Committee
members discussed the areas they would profer to judge. It was suggested the
businesses be judged by the entire group. Benedict said she would be talking to
Laura Measles, Chamber Director, to get some judging sheets and other information.
Bob Frates recommended another meeting be held just prior to the judging so efforts
can be coordinated between the Chamber and the Committee.
A meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, July 25th, at 5:30 p.m.
5. NEW BUSINESS
a. Garden Tour/Pamphlet
The Committee discussed having a volunteer appreciation night, combined with a
garden tour.
MOTION AND VOTE:
Jeanene Benedict moved the Committee hold a volunteer appreciation reception
and garden tour on Thursday, August 10, at 6:00 p.m. Nina Selby seconded.
Passed unanimously.
Susan Hett asked Bob Frates to check on scheduling the gazebo for that evening.
The Committee decided to invite all volunteers, Council, recipients of the Beautification
Awards and the general public. Hett said she would prepare a public service
announcement for this.
The Committee decided it was too late to develop a pamphlet for this season, but they
would continue to discuss and develop this idea.
6. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
7. REPORTS

Susan Hett introduced the new Committee members:
Benedict.
Marilyn Dimmick, and Jeanene
bi
Parks & Rec- Historic Park
Bob Frates passed around pictures of the plaques that would be ordered for the
Beautification Awards. A citizen has donated a large lilac bush to the city. The
Historic Board is looking at developing an Interpretive Site on the old Daubenspeck
property, and the Committee may be asked to develop some type of garden there in
the future.
c. Council
Linda Swarner noted the Council had ruled at their previous meeting, that all members
of Commissions, Committees and Boards shall be residents of the city. Any
members outside the city may serve on an ad-hoc basis. She also noted that
regularly scheduled meetings should not be cancelled without Council approval.
d. Sylvia Johnson
Sylvia noted that there has been a lot of garbage along the greenstrip in front of
Arby's. Also the grass in that greenstrip and by the old F~ buildings, appears to
need mowing. There is a large yellow pipe sticking up near the street by Dan's TV,
perhaps the city can eliminate this if it's not needed.
Linda Swarner noted the bottom was missing off a city banner near Forest Drive. The
Committee agreed that new banners should be requested in next year's budget.
