OLD BUSINESS
Visitor's Center: The racks are mostly full. We need to review the guidelines. Tabled to
next meeting.. Street Naming: Sylvia was to meet with Rose,but schedules conflicted and
they were unable to meet. She put the approvals from last month in Rose's box. Sylvia
got a bit off the Internet on signage,but nothing was conclusive. Greg brought the Street
Naming books. He stated that Jennifer is not certain why she has them as she has her own
system. Sylvia questioned who makes the phone calls to get more information on those in
the book that states more information is needed. Art stated that many people are not home
during the day,but with a couple of new persons on staff, they might be able to help with
that. It was decided that the binders are a hard copy to be used as an archive.

make lists of groups that the City partners with- Relay For Life, July 4th celebration,
