Need to reserve 40-50 parking spaces for the performance; use of Armory parking spaces for Symphony. 2.) No reserved ball games at Red Morton Park ballfields; schedule no other events at CAB or Vets. 3.) Send notice to local residents to notify them of this event. 4.) Advertise in Redwood City Update, Citywide Recreation brochure, purchase ads in newspapers. 5.) Sound drop for back-drop for band; bunting was donated from the Arts Council. 6.) Commissioner Piulle will call about including this item in the water bill and has volunteered to contact the appropriate person in charge. ITEM 13 -EVALUATION OR DISCUSSION OF CULTURAL EVENTS HELD DURING THE PAST 30 DAYS -Commissioner Saye commended Ray Doherty and Elena Mori on their excellent production of the "Salute to Sequoia". He gave the Commissioners a copy of a letter he wrote to Rep. Anna Eshoo supporting the NEA. He attended an excellent brass performance at the Fox Theater but said the promotion must have been poor as the attendance was only 85-100 people.
