CASSELIIERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of May 10, 2021 — Regular Meeting Page 11 of 12 • The monthly event formerly known as Art and Music in the Park has been rebranded as Food Truck Friday and will resume as a scaled back version on Friday, June I P', from 6-9 p.m. in Lake Concord Park. The event will feature food trucks and some acoustic music. • A few spots are still available for summer camp. Signup is available on the City's website, www.casselberry.org. • The virtual art camp which was previously promoted in the City's newsletter has been cancelled due to a lack of interest in a virtual camp, so the City will now be offering an in-person art camp and information about that is currently available on the website at www.casselberry.org, and the change will also be promoted on the City's social media sites. • The City is trying to accommodate the public's desire for in-person activities while still doing things safely, so all the camps will be done with social distancing and protocols in place for hygiene and masking. 17.

Vice Mayor Mark Busch - Seat No. 3: • Stated he agreed with Commissioner Meadows' comments and also appreciated everyone's feedback.

Mayor Henson — Seat No. 5: • Commented briefly on the issue of live streaming the meetings, noting that the City always had to be cautious about how the taxpayers' money was used, and he believed the City would get to that point, but it would take time to determine the best way to do it.
