Drive-In Movie in the Park – Recreation Department Funding Director Moore informed Authority members that the Recreation Department was in the process of planning and implementing an outdoor movie event in September. The company FunFlicks of Michigan has given us a quote of roughly $2803 for one movie event. This amount exceeds the funds budgeted for in the Recreation budget for Fall Programming. The Recreation Director is requesting that TIFA consider splitting the cost with the Recreation Department by funding $1,400. There are two potential dates available: Saturday, September 19th or Saturday, September 26th. The Recreation Board will be meeting on Tuesday, September 1st to select the date. The Authority was in full support of the movie and offered to fully pay for one movie event and fund half of the cost for a second movie event. Motion by LaFore, seconded by Yelencich, to approve funding the full $2,803 for the first weekend movie and should the Recreation Department want to host two movies, the TIFA would split the second weekend with the Recreation Department by providing $1,400 toward the second movie. All yeas Motion passes MISCELLANEOUS MATTER FROM THE DIRECTOR - The Recreation Department is working on a Halloween event that would be set up on the hike/bike trail and families will pre-register for a specific time so that participants could be spaced out. - On October 4th, the Moose Lodge/Michigan Dressers would be hosting their toy drive. - Survey work is being done on the parking lot behind the businesses on Main Street.
