Announcements:
Lamb recapped Concert series: good attendance except for the rain/moved-inside show. Food carts were poor this year with long lines and running out of food, which we will ask them to correct next year. She requests better visibility of MHCA as sponsor such as in the advertising and banner sign for the events.
Chipault relayed that Steve Fitzsimmons obtained a city traffic engineering update with planned 2019 improvements for MH. Check out their web site.
Chipault extended invitation to Madison Mayor’s Conference on 11/17/18. We could send a rep, so she will forward the email invitation.
