 Erika Miller commented on the Memorial Day weekend Alaska Machine Gun club.  She wanted to know if this had been approved and if they were going to come here again.  Erika stated that she didn’t think that in the past they had been this loud. There was comment from the council.  Mayor Fetzer stated that the club was louder than they had ever been in the past and it was unlikely that they would come back without stipulations.

Erika Miller also commented on a vacant house that looked like it had been broken into.

Jean Murray thanked Scott Thompson for putting the flower pots out.  She also wanted to know why there were 2 pots at the park road and none on South Dr. the road to the new subdivision.  S. Thompson will move one there.  She also asked about the water tank by the highway flowers.  There was discussion on what kind of flowers to plant.

Bob Murray stated that the sign was a good promotional sign and the city needed to make sure it was up every year.  Also a reminder that there is a meeting Thursday to reactivate the Anderson promotional and marketing committee.  There should be about 5 people showing up.

Scott Thompson explained that the Alaska machine Gun Club people are certified to do what they did.  The council needs to realize that the city made enough money off that weekend to pay a city employee for a month.
