Chair opens regular session; members briefly discuss buying marquee

At about 9:56 p.m., the Chair moved to open the regular session and members voted in the affirmative.

A Committee member raised a budget question about whether the group should purchase a marquee or keep renting one. The member said, “I gotta just figure out my budget,” and noted, “We rent one every year.” The participant estimated the cost could be “about $15” and suggested continuing to rent might be the most economical option for now.

The Chair added that someone named Richard typically secures favorable rental pricing for the group. Committee discussion did not result in a decision to purchase; members indicated they would likely keep renting for the near term.

The Chair said traffic appeared to be “somewhat under control,” noting that the group has made progress on that issue. No formal directions or assigned follow-ups on traffic or the marquee purchase were recorded in the transcript.

A Committee member then moved to close the regular meeting at about 9:57 p.m.; members voted to close and the Chair confirmed the action.
