The Party in <br /> 48 the Park could be grown to include different types of vendors and businesses. Currently, most of <br /> 49 the vendors are "fair food" and politicians. By expanding the pool of vendors, the City could <br /> 50 showcase its diversity and attract a diverse crowd. The vendors could include: <br /> 51 <br /> 52 • Food, international cuisine <br /> 53 • Beer and wine <br /> 54 • Art, craft,jewelry, etc <br /> 55 • Local businesses in general <br /> 56 <br /> 57 Other events could also be added to draw different people such as: <br /> 58 <br /> 59 • Bocce ball tournament <br /> 60 • Dog meetup or dog event <br /> 61 • Bands, music, or spoken word poetry geared more toward adults <br /> 62 <br /> 63 Ms. Olson indicated if the Commission is satisfied with the report they may want to pass this on <br /> 64 to the staff that help coordinate PIP. <br /> 65 <br /> 66 Commissioner Djevi indicated he liked everything that was in the memo and thought at some <br /> 67 point the Commission should have a discussion on how this should be moved into action. <br /> 68 <br /> 69 Commissioner Bolinger asked if they needed to get approval before they talked to different <br /> 70 groups about possibly engaging in that activity. She thought they could meet with the people <br /> 71 who plan the PIP to get their feedback before moving forward. <br /> 72 <br /> 73 Ms. Olson stated she could extend an invitation to those who plan the PIP to discuss how to <br /> 74 coordinate these actions. <br /> 75 <br /> 76 Chair Beltmann thought in a couple of months they could discuss this further to see how they <br /> 77 want to be involved in PIP. <br /> 78 <br /> 79 Commissioner Peterson asked if all the planning for PIP done by staff only. <br /> 80 <br /> 81 Ms. Olson indicated she did not have that answer but could find out for the Commission. <br /> 82 <br /> 83 Commissioner Peterson noted there is a separate group for the parade and a lot of them are <br /> 84 volunteers, so she thought they might want to encourage some lay people in the community to <br /> 85 help plan the PIP which might get some helpful feedback from the community as well. <br /> 86 <br /> 87 Commissioner Djevi stated they could present this to the organizing committee indicating that as <br /> 88 one of their recommendations and ask how the committee would make it work and what kind of <br /> 89 help would they need from the HRIEC Commission. <br /> 90 <br />
