Council Minutes of 5-7-2019 going to e-mail it out to everyone and he wants them to get educated and to hold all elected officials accountable. • The Mayor said he has had the Mayor's Run for about 10 years and they always struggled to get 100 people to show up and they give away a couple thousand dollars in scholarships. Ken Neuzil would have the Homecoming Run and he would do the same thing the Mayor did. The Mayor said they got their heads together and combined the runs and added Fat Heads. They went from struggling to get 100 people to last year having 922 runners. Before they were able to raise a couple thousand apiece, mostly on sponsorships because the race never made any money. This year they raised $21,000 for scholarships. Some of that went to Ken, some of it went to the Mayor and some went to Fat Heads. If you have younger kids, get them involved, there is always a need for more volunteers, the people that got more scholarship money either volunteered or ran in the race before. A list of the scholarship winners and their accomplishments are attached to the minutes. Director of Law Gareau: • In the case of Darwin Dorsey v.
