Gospel in the Park Event;This is to report that I have waived the fees for the park usage for the Gospel in the Park
event that will be held on Saturday,May 18,2013.The event is less than a week after the next City Commission
meeting and a decision on waiver of fees was needed prior to that time so that the event could move ahead for
planning purposes. The City Commission voted to waive the fees for the same event last year. Total fees that have
been waived amount to$376.75.
LIUNA(Blue Collar)Union Ratification Vote;State rules require that local government employee unions have a
vote on whether or not to ratify their contracts after going through an impasse hearing with the local governing
body. The LIUNA union held a vote on April 23`d. Seven union members voted and five of those voted not to
approve the contract. This vote does not alter the Commission's decision in the impasse hearing and the changes to
employee benefits will remain in effect per the Commission's decision.
