Welcome Guests/Privilege of the floor:
1. Madeline Pelkey, chair for the Memorial Day Parade asked the Board if the rumors that they are considering to hire an Event Planner to take over the special events in Hague. The Senior Citizen Club sponsors the Memorial Day Parade with many volunteers to help with the project. If a Professional Planner was, hired does this mean we lose are funds and will not be in charge of the event and promotion?
The Board has not discussed or made a decision on hiring a Professional Planner. We have discussed the need of promoting events in Hague.
Tom Haskell stressed that the Chamber of Commerce can help with promotion of events by advertising in papers and on the website.
Supervisor Belden will set up a meeting with all organizations.

The Board did discuss the possibility of harboring their boat at the Boat Slip. The Board is aware that there would be security issues.
Marty also mentioned that the County is switching systems and the Fire Department and Ambulance squad need to change their radios/pagers. This is a large expense and the Fire Department did not budget for this. Supervisor Belden will contact someone at the County to find out more information on this project.
