Son’s/Daughter’s Night Out. The Raffle drawing will take place on March 31st, and the winner will be contacted by
City Staff.
Movie Night (Update)
Commissioner Justin has contacted a company called Swank asking if there are any movies with lower licensing
fees. They informed him that Licensing Fees will be within the $400-$500 dollar range no matter how old/new the
move is. The company confirmed that the Dark Knight’s licensing fee will cost around $450.
Clemons informs the commission that May 6th is the only date the Dumas Bay theater is available. Commissioners
agree to clean up the theater after the event.
Vice-Chair Bryan asks who their target audience will be for the event. Commissioner Justin thinks that High
Schoolers would be the best age group to advertise to.
The commissioners agree that $8 might be too expensive for a ticket. Commissioner Justin suggests charging $8
and adding in swag or popcorn in addition to the ticket price.
Vice-Chair Bryan motions to approve the Teen Movie Night date for May 6th. All commissioners motion to
approve.
