Old Business:

Public Transportation:

Mrs. Schumacher and Alison from Community Action met. Mrs. Schumacher and Alison are putting some ideas together to help the program grow. Mrs. Schumacher hopes to have the ideas put together before next month’s meeting.

The committee talked about changing the name of LMPT.

Sports/event tourism-airport events:
Mr. Bateman talked to Lorrie Paige at Bee’s Floral and RC Airplanes about putting on an event this year. However, it’s too late to get an event put together this year. Mr. Bateman wants the executive committee to be the steering committee of this event. Mr. Bateman asked Ms. Paige if she could put down a temporary track at the airport for this event.

 

Mrs. Schumacher feels the first step is to pick a date for the event.

Mr. Bateman feels remote control cars and paragliders should be on the same weekend as the BBQ event. This will give out of town people something to do all day.

Mr. Anderson feels we can’t pick a date yet. The committee would like to talk to the Paiges before picking a date.

Mr. Bateman would not like to have an entrance fee. Mr. Bateman will talk to Paiges about dates for the event. After the committee gets a date then they will go to the Airport Committee to make sure that day is available.

The Airport will need to talk to the FFA to make sure they are okay with the event.

Keep on the agenda.

Mrs. Schumacher reported the Health Department plans to go with MCS for their website. Mrs. Schumacher’s goal is to have a proposal by the May meeting to show the committee who offers what services.

Voting via telephone: Keep on the agenda.

Insurance administration:
Mrs. Meagher plans to show Mrs. Freese how the insurance role works.
