None
A special called meeting of the Advertising and Promotion Commission was called to
order at the Chamber of Commerce conference room at 2:10 p.m. by Commissioner Joe
Fennel.
Commission was informed that the Advertising and Promotion had been named in a
lawsuit filed by George Williams and Dorothy Cox concerning the Town Center. No one
has been served with the lawsuit but Steve Ward advised Commissioners that they should
engage legal services since Judge Gunn has shortened the time of response to the suit and
court is scheduled for September 14.
Ward had contacted several attorneys and said that two attorneys were qualified to -
represent the A & P Commission and could work under the shortened time frame - David
Nixon and Ken Shemin.
Moved by Shipley, second by Waselues to hire Ken Shemin subject to negotiation of
rates. Motion carried. Ward and Marilyn Johnson will contact Ken Shemin.
Discussion regarding honoring all funding requests for 1999 and holding requests for
2000 until this issue is resolved. It was the consensus that those who requested funds
from A & P need to understand that these legal issues are tying up their funds.
Shipley said Commission should try and recover fees from plaintiffs.
The Commission recognized Nancy Hendrix for her play "Second to None", the Mayor
for encouraging her to pursue this effort, and Joe Fennel for his acting in the play.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
