New City Manager Paul Briseno asked the Board’s recommendation on VenuWorks offer to purchase
$100,000 of equipment to help off-set the $166,000 operating budget loss in 2017. In return, be able
to sign an additional 5 year contract now to extend the remaining 3 years on our current management
contract to a total of 8 years. After discussion four out of five board members were in favor of
signing the 5 year contract now. They also understand with Paul being brand new to the position if
he wants to sign the 5 year renewal in the future.
Teri adjourned the meeting.
