Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council September 25, 2006 Page 8 think may have some good business acumen and little bit more hands on. The idea would be not so much necessarily formally meeting in Committee as much as developing a procedure. One of the suggestions are to develop a form and when something comes in, it could be prepared as a dossier for distribution amongst the different individuals with the request that they respond back within a certain period of time, go through and evaluate and compare notes, discuss it and then take it from there. It could be handled like an interview process. Mrs. Mills commented that this is interesting. When Beta Drive was first developed, we had a citizen's committee that went out into the business districts looking for people to occupy there. Check to see if there is any history on that.

PARKS & RECREATION -Bill Thomas Mr. Thomas reported that last year we offered for the first time a Polar Express ride for our seniors and families. It took about two weeks to sell out four coaches, which was 320 tickets. One of the suggestions from the Rec Board this year was to offer a time when residents could register first. Over 100 tickets were sold to the residents. The next day on the 21St, 160 tickets were sold for the school district. It was opened up today for the non-school district residents. We sold out all four coaches. Mr. Thomas started working with the schools today on the Wildcat Teen Halloween event scheduled for October 20th. We are working with two new principals, one at the Middle School and one at the High School. The cooperation is still there from those individuals. We are working on the Winter brochure which will be mailed out in early November. HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT -Mrs. Kalina Mrs. Kalina passed out the department's report to Council. It is attached to these Minutes. The phone line was busy today. It was the first day for people to register for the flu shots. It was supposed to be 10-2 and it instead went from 9:15 to 4:00. We did register about
