Various thanks for Summer Arts   from various groups and individuals.   Suggestion that we hire   entertainment IMMEDIATELY for next year to ensure their availability.\u00a0   Possibly even for 2 years ahead!   Attendance and income were both UP   from last year\u2014we had to borrow \u2018way less to run the event! Everyone is all   paid.\u00a0 Fastest cleanup ever!   Discussed coordinator party, set   date for 5 July.   Teffane introduced a new young   woman who will be helping with the kids, she is\u00a0 hatted up for mental   health oversight.

A offered her services for   Spontaneous Signage.   REGGAE!\u00a0 High Times has   cancelled the event.\u00a0 BUT\u2026 we plan a 2day event on the same date, but at   the hall.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have enough lead time to arrange for an offsite   event.\u00a0 Over the next few weeks there wil be negotiations over   contracts, leases, confidential agreements.\u00a0 Garth pointed out that all   the area hotels are interested in an event happening and would be interested   in sponsoring various aspects.

(they use   the internet as their participatory tool).\u00a0 She pointed out that ROTR is   boring, activities other than music are SO NOT HAPPENING.    Eryn pointed out that Reggae is   old school, the people connexions were what was important.\u00a0 Legalization   took the wind out of our sails\u2014you can smoke anywhere now!\u00a0    Ayala pointed out that we have   come full circle, back to Community.   There was some brainstorming of   other activities that could be available at a reborn music festival\u2014foto   treasure hunt, yoga, inspirational speakers, popup stage for local bands, art   booth DIY, plywood wall of paper plates to color yourself. Megan thanked all   for input.   Rick talked about the   website\u2014update weekly\u2014and a press release listing businesses affected by No   Reggae\u2014so folks would funnel business to them. Maybe hold baby Reggae at   Community park? D <br>   Dan pointed out that HT never figured out that a country festival was different   from one in the city.                            <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MATEEL PUBLIC MEETING Tuesday 18 June 2019, 5:35 pm, adjourned 6:30 pm Megan-Bruce-D Dan-Eryn-Dusty-Nate-Babette Previous minutes were already approved\u2026 PUBLIC COMMENT (there are more board members at the meeting than public!)
