We had a financial <br /> arrangement with Henry Cardinal. under stand Mr. Cardinal leases the land from you on <br /> a verbal agreement for about $364.( 0 per rear to farm hay. The financial arrangement <br /> we had with Henry was for paymem of $2 )0. In return we were allowed to park on about <br /> 1 acre of the land. The land we use, l was i nvaluable to the city celebration, and was very <br /> appreciated. We are planning the 2) )01 city celebration in much the same way. We are <br /> hoping to expand the events and attcndanc a as well as the parking area. We are also <br /> considering changing the date of the event at this time, no date has been selected. <br /> We would like to enter into . t writt, In agreement with the Church of St. <br /> Genevieve. This agreement would : dlow 1 s the use of the vacant land for the city <br /> celebration and would allow Henry Cardir al to use the land to farm hay. We would be <br /> willing to lease this parcel of land fi om th, church for $500 per year for as many years as <br /> the church would be comfortable w th. I f 'el this arrangement would benefit everyone in <br /> the community. I have enclosed a simple lease agreement. We would be ready and <br /> willing to enter into this agreement mytin e in the near future. <br /> I would also encourage the t hurch to take an active role in the city celebration <br /> next year, there are tons of opportui ities f if fundraisers at this event. Last year we <br /> estimate attendance at about 3,000) eople. next year we are shooting for 5,000. I would <br /> be willing to talk with a group of pa rishioi ers or the church council about some ideas I <br /> have. <br /> If possible, I would like this letter o be put on the next Church Council meeting <br /> agenda for Monday Sept. 25, 2000. I will be in attendance at the Church Council <br /> meeting that evening. I look forwai d to al swering your questions at that time. I would <br /> like to thank you in advance for yot r cone deration. <br /> Thank you, <br /> ?0- <br /> Ray DeVine <br /> Fete des Lacs Committee <br />
