It is my understanding, the Committee would be sunsetted and the garden club would function as a private organization. The following are some questions to consider if a garden club was formed in lieu of a Beautification Committee: • What would be the Club's function? • How could the Club provide a benefit to Parks & Recreation Commission? • How would this decision impact the Parks & Recreation Commission? City Administration will very much appreciate your input. BF/clf cc: Council Member Swarner City Manager Rick Koch ~ • AGENDA KENAI CITY COUNCIL - REGULAR MEETING ,r~Y s, aoo6 7:0o P.ra.
