PUBLIC COMMENT: Mike Munger – Mike Munger who is in charge of the Fishing event wanted to talk to the committee in regards to attendance. Mike Munger explained to the committee that the past few years the fishing event has gotten smaller, with fewer attendees than in the past. After some discussion the committee and Mike Munger decided that they will test out a new time for the fishing events, from 10:00 AM – Noon, in hopes that more people will be in attendance at a later hour. The committee is also going to change the placement of the signs and place them near the elementary schools and some churches.
