Keith Hansen appeared before Council to discuss a suitable location to hold the American Legion fundraising carnival this year.  At the last meeting there was discussion regarding use of property on the south side of Constitution Park but there had been concern from citizens about using that site so it was determined that other sites should be sought before a decision is made by Council.  There were a number of citizens attending tonight’s meeting that are opposed to having the carnival at Constitution Park.  A petition was presented with 45 signatures opposing the Constitution Park site due to safety concerns as well as noise concerns. Council Member Robert Yack suggested two other sites that he felt were more suitable for the carnival.  After hearing those who were for and opposed, a motion was made by Larry Murray to allow the Carnival to be held at Constitution Park for one year and then evaluate the outcome for future use of this site.  Motion seconded by John Gardner.  Larry Murray and John Gardner voted Aye.  Robert Yack, Dave Woolstenhulme, and Guy Coleman voted Nay.  Motion did not carry.
