CONFLUENCE PARK.
Entertainment. Executive Director Anderson reported EPURA will submit an
informal report concerning "entertainment" at Confluence Park to the
Planning Commission April 19, 1988. EPURA's preliminary guidelines state
entertainers must contain their acts on the premises. High -risk acts, e.g.
"fire eaters", "knife throwers", "high wire acts", etc. are not allowed.
EPURA anticipates hiring a coordinator to schedule events. EPURA will not
reimburse professional entertainers advertising local business
establishments, and collection of on -site donations will not be allowed.
Entertainment could take place five days/week Wednesday - Sunday, perhaps
twice/day. EPURA anticipates scheduling entertainment beginning in
Mid -June through Labor Day.
Discussion followed concerning relocating entertainers from Bond Park to
Confluence Park. This item could be addressed when the coordinator
position has been filled.
Budget. This project is slightly over budget at this time.
Official name of Confluence Park - Discussion. Executive Director Anderson
reported an informal contest was held seeking an official name for
Confluence Park. 32 names were submitted. Consensus of the Board of
Trustees was to officially name the park "Riverside Plaza." A dedication
ceremony has been scheduled for July 15, 1988. The news media, state and
local officials, and residents will be invited to attend.
Parking Spaces - Staging Areas. Director Anderson reported Riverside Plaza
should be substantially completed by June 15th, which does not include
landscaping. Heath Construction should begin reducing their staging areas
thus returning the parking spaces for use as soon as possible after June
15th.
REPORTS.
Director Anderson reported EPURA will continue with the list of priorities
given them by the Board of Trustees. Said priorities are to be completed
during 1988. EPURA will begin planning for 1989 while awaiting the outcome
of the public meetings which will be scheduled to review and possibly amend
the URA Plan.
Following completion of all agenda items, Executive Director Anderson
requested the meeting enter Executive Session to discuss property
acquisition. Director Anderson received a consensus from both entities,
therefore the Joint Session was adjourned to Executive Session.
