. <br /> Smactrow titea94 digeteatet jot 20011 <br /> My ideas for the 2001 Festival Committee have been derived from my <br /> experience in planning and staging the 2000 Fete des Lacs, from <br /> countless hours of talking with members of last years committee and <br /> countless hours of discussions with other members of the community. <br /> I feel we need a more structured committee, not because I think the <br /> event will be more successful, but rather to spread out the workload <br /> and try to minimize some of the issues that arose last year, when we <br /> worked as an informal committee. I feel last year, because we were <br /> pioneering new trails and breaking the mold of what had been done in <br /> the past, it was necessary to have an informal committee. We are <br /> hopefully wiser now and learned a lot last year. <br /> Legal Issues <br /> My ideas for the committee for next year consist essentially of a <br /> seven - member committee, similar to the park and rec or EDC <br /> committee. I have attached a set of bylaws created from looking at <br /> the bylaws of our current city committees. Also, all meetings would <br /> be open and would follow "Roberts Rules of Order." <br /> Appointment <br /> I would suggest we contact our committee from last year and <br /> residents that helped in other volunteer capacities and invite them to <br /> submit a "letter of interest." I would also recommend we advertise <br /> the openings on the sign at city hall and in the Quad Community <br /> Press. It would be fair at that point for the city council to review the <br /> letters and consider who was involved in the event last year when <br /> making appointments. I am confident we would find the seven <br /> necessary members without further problems. <br />
