Old Business :
a. Second Aunual Taste of Heights ~
Six restaurants submitted applications: Dragon House, E1 Tequila, Udupi
Caf6, Olive Tree, E1 Bustan, and Sahib's.
The Colmuission accepted all restaUrants, as they fit with the theme of the
event and there would be enough space.
Judy Yantos is taking care of entertaimuent. Thus far, a Hmong
family who lives in the Heights will be doing a dance, and the
exhibits will be: Sister Cities, NEI's ESL Program, High School's
Multi Cultural Club, and Values First.
It was the feeling of the Co~muission that the exlfibits could be in a
separate room, not the main hall where the restaurants would be.
The Recreation Commission will be acting on the Commission's
request for waiving the fees for Murzyn Hall for the event.
Magee distributed a memo fi'om the Finance Director regarding the
Taste of Heights. After reviewing the memo mhd much discussion,
it was decided to not have advance ticket sales. Rather, two change
boxes will be available for use at the event so there can be two
ticket lines, if needed. Also Magee will talk to the City Manager to
see how we could ensure that the City's liability insurance covers
the event
· Lion's Club will sell pop for $.25 a cup. Water will be available at
a table in an area of the hall, where a vokmteer will serve it.
· Publicity material will indicate: Food Tickets Sold at the Door -
$2.00 each. One (1) food ticket = One (1) restaurant sample.
