1. Call to Order/Roll Call-The Greater Mauston Tourism Association met in regular session on

c. Placer.ai was discussed in great detail to be continued at a later date.
6. Staff Report- Haugh mentioned that Festival Foods has decided to increase their donation for a
larger fireworks display, considering there likely won't be any other events that day. Perhaps
GMTA could also contribute to making the fireworks display even grander. Further discussion on
this matter will be held during a subsequent meeting.
Additionally, Haugh updated the committee on the City's decision to donate a spot to place the new
Memorial at Veteran's Park. This donation aims to facilitate the relocation of the current Veteran's
Memorial from Hwy 58, where the flag pole is located, to a larger area west of the fence, where a
substantial memorial will be constructed. Haugh is part of a committee consisting of veteran groups
in the City, dedicated to overseeing the construction of this memorial. Funding for this project will
rely solely on donations, necessitating some time to accomplish. In the future, there may be a grant
request to help fund this memorial from GMTA.
7. Adjourn - Linder/Dahl to adjourn. Motion carried.
