The purpose of said meeting was to review an application for a special designated permit for Jessica Reestman dba Boomerangs for a tailgate party to be held on Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 100 Pine Street. The alternate location would be Beckman Lumber.
Bethany and Jessica explained that the Elgin Ko-ed Group (EKG) would be having a tailgate party on the lot west of City Hall. There will be games, a big screen to watch Nebraska play Wyoming and a beer garden. All proceeds will go the Q125.
Discussion was held on using wristbands instead of having a segregated area for the beer garden.
Also discussed was using the public bathrooms and picnic tables from the park if needed. Councilman Mackel stated that the Chamber had rented port-a-potties from Petersburg for the steak fry and they cost $97.00.
