I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 10, 1987 Council Business Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Schmidt, to APPROVE THE LOCATION OF THE CENTENNIAL GARDEN AT SEVENTH STREET N.W. AND SILVER LAKE ROAD UNDER THE WATER TOWER AND MAKE PROVISIONS TO HAVE THE CHAIN LINK FENCE RELOCATED. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Judy Goepel, Centennial Coordinator, reviewed the Letter of Agree- ment between Lance Belville and the New Brighton Centennial Commis- sion. The Commission approved the Agreement and understands they will pay $5,000 to Belville for his assistance in producing a drama with a music score for performance at Stockyard Days and in the future, and that the City would become the owner of the rights of the play. With regard to the language in the Agreement, Benke asked Goepel if she was comfortable with the Agreement and that the City would be receiving a quality product. Goepel indicated Belville con- ducted a workshop with people from New Brighton; he realized they were the people who should write the drama thereby making it much more authentic; has been conducting workshops every week; he is being used as a facilitator; he has done plays both ways (writing and conducting workshops). Goepel advised that the people are extremely pleased with it thus far. Schmidt questioned the "rights" of the drama; Goepel stated be- tween 20-25 people are at the workshop every Thursday evening; believes everyone has been working in good faith; believes they understand they are donating their time and talents for the drama. Williams indicated the Commissioners had agreed the play and the rights to it would become the rights of the city; Schmidt raised the question of the individuals rights and suggested getting a release or waiver to the rights. LeFevere felt it might be good idea to attempt to secure releases from all participants. In response to Benke's concern, Schmidt believed it would be appropriate for the Council to clarify what it is buying, and s(;_~uri~g th~_\f>Jai~ers_~o<::larif,~__~h~~. - Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Brandt, to APPROVE THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE NEW BRIGHTON CENTENNIAL COMMISSION AND LANCE S.
