ITEM 2-SPEAKER SERIES WITH JOE MARCHI Commissioner Ball said she has not spoken with Mr. Marchi but she will contact before next meeting. This matter will be placed on the September agenda. The following items were taken out of order: ITEM 10-CLIMATE BEST FEST John Holt of the Optunist Club explained his group is sponsoring the Climate Best Fest to be held in downtown Redwood City in September and they are looking for a grant to provide entertainment for the 2 day event. They are in the process of securing entertainment and have signed contracts with two music groups so far. He spoke about the music groups and other entertainment they are considering and the costs of each group. The cost of entertainment considered for Saturday totals $2,100 and for Sunday is $2,300. He explained if they sign contracts for all entertainment groups they are working with, the total cost would be $4,400. Several of the groups have reduced their performing costs but will require sound systems to be provided at a cost of $400.00 for both days. The steps of the courthouse will be the main entertainment stage with another stage closer to Main Street. Mr. Holt asked the Commission if they would be able to lend their staging to the Optimist Club for the event.
