3. Request to use Pfiffner Building for Special Event, "Memory Walk" on September 24, 2005 (Alzheimer's Association)

Schrader stated that this event would also like to setup prior to our adopted time one may enter a lodge and have a radio station provide music at the event. Both of these requests we have honored in the past, if the event was open to the public and is run by a non-profit organization. The early time would be for registration, some background music and event would be over by noon. We have approved similar events in the past at the Pfiffner Building.

4. Director's Report

Special Events Funding for years 1989 - 2005 report given to Commissioners. For 2005, Jazz Fest will be a 2 day event Sept. 3&4 held in Pfiffner park. The Copper Fountain Festival will be held in Pfiffner Park on May 13 and the amount was reduced as event is not new. The Child's Day will be a two year exhibit at the Portage County Historical Society. Walk Wisconsin is scheduled for June 4th on the Green Circle. They have received 200 inquiries already and have a $20,000 budget and will be using designated money for T-shirts, food stops, entertainment and pasta fest. It will be a non-competitive quarter, half and full marathon. Info can be obtained at the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Fly-in Open House has been an annual event at the Stevens Point Airport. The funding for this event will need to be fazed out, in that the fund this for starting up events, not maintaining them.

Markham asked how much money is in the budget and Schrader said $15,000.00. An application is filled out and the committee meets once a year in December. Some of those funds are used for city activities such as Easter Egg Hunt and Eat-to-the-Beat. Glodosky thought it would be nice to incorporate a bike route event for a couple of days around Portage County.

Winter Sports Area only open for a couple days around Christmas; rain set in creating an ice hazard and lack of snow prevented opening. Currently working on ice rinks.

Modern Signs acknowledged for the numerous signs that have been donated.
