MN 5.-092 0« (612)471-0491 <br />The Navarre Business and Professional Council estabilished a three person <br />committee in spring of 1991 in an effort to beautify our community. Our <br />ooal was to gather information on Holiday decorations available for all <br />the light poles in the Navarre business district (Cty rd 15 & 19), contact <br />City of Orono for help and input, create a fund involving community <br />donations to pay for the decorations, and finally to choose and order for <br />Holiday 1991 delivery. To complete these goals, the following was done: <br />JUNE: A committee member met with Mark Bernhardson and John Gerhardson <br />to discuss the feasibility of this plan. Both agreed with the general <br />ideas and followed up with Mark sending information he had gotten from <br />Spring Park and Mound regarding their purchase of decorations. John <br />delivered a map of the street plans with light pole locations and numbers <br />of poles for our use. . <br />The committee received information from Vaughn Signs of Bloomington on <br />banners and decorations available. <br />JULY: The Navarre Business and Professional Council met with Mark, John, <br />and Jean Haybush to discuss both signing concerns in Navarre and the <br />proposed holiday decorations. The need for the City to handle the annual <br />installation and removal of the decoration, along with annual storage <br />was discussed. Both Mark and John felt this could be worked out with <br />the City once the actual funds were established for the purchase. <br />At this time Vaughn Signs contacted us and offered a <>0% discount <br />on the decorations if the order was placed by 7/31/91. With this <br />tremendous savings in mind, the committee made the decision to order <br />on 7/31/91. <br />AUGUST/SEPTEMBER; An open letter to the community was sent to over 1500 <br />area residents and businesses requesting donations. This was also <br />printed in the Laker newspaper for total Westonka community involvement. <br />The decorations were delivered to Janet Symons State Farm office, and are <br />currently being stored there. <br />Rick Bloomquist contacted John Gerhardson for the approval of the <br />John visited the office to check out the storage space needed and said he <br />would contact the Orono City Council to set up a time slot at the next <br />meeting. <br />OCTOBER: Hick Bloomquist received a call from the new City <br />regarding this project, giving us the approval to request time at the 10/28 <br />Council mooting to present our project needs.
