Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, Apri120, 2015 Page 4 Mr. Marrie continued, that was a good point because everyone said, what does it really mean? It doesn't sound like a coinedy show. Garry Regan also made a presentation. When The Grove first opened in 2013, there were 4 events. It grew to 19 in 2014. Garry is hoping to get more. He made an interesting comment. "In order for the Village to enjoy the benefits of The Grove we need people froin other coinmunities. We can't survive just on our residents." He said, when you come to the show, put a hook in one of your neighbors and drag thein in there. The help and support of everyone is needed, especially froin our coinmunity. There was also a Council preseiitation inade. Mrs. Bodnar made a coininent about the article she read concerning all the money other Mayors were inaking. She was quite surprised. Diane said, for what it's worth, the Mayor and Council have not had a raise in 15 years. Everyone was floored. There were a couple comments that he did not come in tlus for money. He was here because he wanted to do it. Mr. Saponaro asked about something he saw in the minutes where a member asked why we support The Grove but we don't support Reserve Hall. That was interesting. I don't know if we have any theory behind that or thought process. Ms. Wolgamuth stated, as we were talking about the CPA; they are pretty much on their own, we don't support them except what I put in the VOV for them. But The Grove is pretty much all Village-supported. The question was why the difference? I think the only thing I said was that I think it's how Reserve Hall evolved with Fainnount. Fairmount was on their own. They were separate from the Village. Since then we have never budgeted anything for Reserve Hall. It's something we inight want to revisit. Council President Buckholtz mentioned, there was actually some radio advertisement on the last comedy night. Ms. Wolgamuth stated, that would have been done by them. Mr. Saponaro asked, are they a for-profit or not-for-profit? Ms. Wolgamuth replied, I do not know how they are set up. Mr. Saponaro stated, because the other thing came up about serving alcohol and what that would do. Someone brought up that they don't believe this can be done by the Village, but you can get special permits. Ms. Wolgamuth replied, I would think they are not set up as a non-profit. Mr. Saponaro stated, I think it's something we have to at least look at when we are hiring someone maybe for The Grove, if there's any opportunity to do cross-over, because it does benefit our residents. Council President Buckholtz stated, as the seasons change, the venues could cross-over.
