The City Clerk noted that there would be an additional 61 members to invite (122 with spouses) costing an additional $1064.00 Since the amount budgeted for the banquet was $1435.00, it was recommended that (1) if a "sit-down" dinner is preferred, then the additional committees not be invited, or (2) if the Council desired to invite all members, then have a recep- tion serving wine, cheese and hors' doeuvres. MS (Scott/McCandliss) to invite just the standing committees that were invited in the past and that a separate (perhaps a tea) or some type of stand-up affair be provided for the working commissions and ad hoc committees. DISCUSSION: Councilwoman McCandliss suggested polling the commissions to get their feelings on this; the time element involved; selecting a location large enough to accom- modate the entire group, such as in the new community center on Park Way; having an informal reception whereby the commissioners can mingle with the other guests rather than having to sit in one place all evening. MOTION FALED: The motion failed by a vote of 4 to lwith Councilman Scott voting "aye". MSUC (Hyde/McCandliss) that conceptual approval be given to the reception and that the City Clerk look into the problems that would be associated with such an event; cost, type of program, and any problems that would have to be resolved in handling it in that fashion.
