The special committee will report regularly to the park committee who in turn will report to the Council. It was noted that some people were selling in the business district without the benefit of a city license.

A copy of guidelines is attached. Motion by Jim Flisrand, seconded by LuAnne Engh that no refunds be given for swimming lessons for the recreation program once a child has started the activity.
