Mr. Trocquet started a conversation by discussing the “First Fridays” schedule for the upcoming season. He noted that the board agreed at the last meeting to consolidate the schedule. He then inquired about the preferred direction for the “First Fridays” series. Further discussion ensued regarding whether two to three events would be appropriate. The Board agreed that continuing the events was valuable for community engagement. Mr. Trocquet pointed out that the DDA had approximately $13,000 in funding, which would come from three-line items. The board members agreed to hold three “First Fridays” events and a fourth event tentatively in September for the grand opening of the food truck park. Mr. Perkins suggested inviting food truck operators to a future meeting to collect input for park developments. A motion was made to approve May 2, June 6, and August 1 dates for the 2025 First Friday season from 6:00-8:30 p.m. and a September event for the food truck park grand opening.
