Letter from Edgewater Chamber of Commerce and proposed Resolution sign-
ed by the organizations and clubs in Edgewater relating to the Community
Center. Mayor Shaeffer stated he would like each one who signed this
Resolution to speak, designating their complaint. The following spoke:
Margie Gunther, Mr. Colin Innes, Mrs. Merriel Menard, Mrs. Ralph Beach,
Mrs. Robert Maxwell, Mr. Warren Gunther, Mrs. Walter Murton, Mr. Robert
Maxwell, Mr. John Grafton, Mr. Chas. Sepkoski, Mr. Robert Kennedy and
Mr. Nels Frantzen.
After hearing all the spokesmen, Mayor Shaeffer stated he would ask the
Board of Governors to instruct Mr. Armading the Custodian to remain at
the building every morning until 11:30 and if anyone wants to rent the
building they can make the arrangements with him here. He then ask the
Council for remarks, stating this Board was appointed by this Council
to serve until November 8th, or until a new Council appoints a new Board.
Now, do you want to retain them or throw them out? Councilman Smith
stated he did not believe it was the fault of the board. From what I
can gather, it is more the fault of the party responsible for the booking
in not keeping track of the different functions correctly, and anyone can
make mistakes sometimes and slip up on a date. Councilman Beck stated he
thouIght this discussion should be closed as we are getting no place. We
could keep on all evening, and I think we do need time to study this over.
Councilman Armstrong agreed with Councilman Beck. He stated he did not
believe these signers have taken it up with their organizations before
signing and I do not believe on voting on something that all the members
of the organizations are not in accord with. Some of these organizations
are based on by-laws and others are chartered, so therefore, I would suggest
this be tabled for the present. Motion duly made by Councilman Beck this
be tabled for further study, seconded by Councilman Armstrong and by vote
CARRIED.
Mr. Wahl presented two letters to Mayor Shaeffer which he wished the Clerk
to read. These letters were read. No comment. Mr. Drisket stated he
had been on a large board and thought it was a mistake to have more than a
five man board as there was always bickering in a large board, and everything
is running along smolthly with this five man board. Mr. Carter ask that
the Monday evening dances be resumed and he stated he would pay the rent
for two months in advance. It is good advertising for the City. Mayor
Shaeffer stated he would have to think about it, but I will say this, the
dances will not be put on free as all the other organizations using this
building have to pay and we cannot make exceptions.
There being no further business Councilman Beck moved we do now adjourn,
seconded by Councilman Armstrong and by vote CARRIED.
