<br />Terry Sweeney <br />- <br /> <br />7154 Brian Drive <br />Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> <br />l\1arch 15,2001 <br /> <br />City of Centerville <br />Fete des Lacs Committee <br /> <br />Centerville, MN 550.38 <br /> <br />Dear Council lVlembers: <br /> <br />I'm writing this letter with a lot of difficulty. I have volunteered my time to the community <br />since shortly after I moved here twelve and a half years ago. I am currently a member of the <br />Fire Department, the Centerville Lions, and the Fete des Lacs Committee. In the summer i <br />have coached Little League every year since my 14 year old son was in Tee-Ball. I now find <br />myself needing more time for my family, and myself. I also am not happy with the current <br />budfJet talks. It know how hard it is to figure out a budget for a city, I was a council member <br />for two years. Cutting necessities, and even some e},,1:ras (such as the festival) are not the <br />answer. <br /> <br />A lot of work went into revitalizing the City Festival. Now, there's no money to continue. The <br />current economic situation makes soliciting donations difficult at best, but the council <br />doesn't seem to care. This festival was on the verge of becoming great. Citizens look <br />forward to this get-together every year. The last two years, the parade alone has been <br />spectacular, and the turnout fantastic. This year, though, the city won't have enough money <br />to even pay for the band at the dance. <br /> <br />I'm sorry, but I can no longer participate on the Festival Committee. I hope you see the light <br />before it's too late. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />'J <br /> <br /> <br />I ~______-~._...
