For several months there have been a couple of trucks

He also hopes to fill the 12th and 19th of August. It was
suggested that we should have someone else along with the Sweet
Adelines to give more to the program. A suggestion was to get a

in their contract want a $200. non-refundable deposit and if we
have to cancel by 4:00 on the day of the concert they want an
additional $200.00. It was agreed that we notify them that we
accept the $800. fee for the performance but the Town is bound by
certain restrictions and cannot pay the $400. non refundable
morliE'!s.
Mr. Holt mentioned that he and Mr. Maurer are working on
getting more electrical power to the stage. D. Silvestri has been
contacted to put in an additional pole for power and we will also
review what we have for speakers and microphones. Silvestri
mentioned that we should get speakers to hang on the bandstand
which would project the sound much better. We will be going to

for these improvements. It was suggested that the amount
'iPquF!st€~d be $2,500. It "'Jas nc<ted that maybE' we could put
additional stage lights in at the same time and Mr. Vorndran
mEntioned that we might be able to use some of the lights from the
barn. It was decided that Mr. Vorndran get some of these lights
and have Silvestri hook them up while he is doing the work there.
We must have better lighting and sound system for the programs
held at the stage.
It was decided that we must hire someone to help with the
parking for the concerts and for the first concert maybe even two
people. Mr. Wood suggested that a letter be sent to the New
Hackensack Fire District asking for permission to use their corner
lot on All Angels and Myers Corners for overflow parking from Jllly
l.~::,t to August 19th during c.ur conce,-t season. ~'Je should .::\Iso s;end
