Sharron King, chair of Fathoms O'Fun Festival, spoke in favor of the Paradise Amusements carnival
application and would like to have the tradition of fireworks and the carnival at the same time. This
is a much-needed event to pull the community together.
Ginger Johnson, Run Amok Racing, spoke to their 5K event in conjunction with the carnival. They
made a real effort to work with the carnival and to work within the allotted space they have. With
the COVID guidelines regarding spacing, she does not see how they can make their race run safely
and follow the COVID and safety guidelines. She does not believe her event, and the carnival, can
happen on the same day.
Cody Morgan, owner of Peninsula BevCo, said his restaurant is right next to where the festival is
going to happen. He wants it to go on, but voiced concerns with the parking and noted his restaurant,
at this time, is 2L and over and does not allow families which is what the carnival will draw. He wants
to know if there are any other ways to mitigate the parking issue.

5. PRESENTATION
A. Legislative Update and Highlights on the American Rescue Plan
Representative Derek Kilmer explained the most important position he has taken in the last year was
not a vote he cast, but instead was a commitment he made that if one of his constituents reached
out to his office having lost a job, business, or loved one, he would reach out to them directly. He
briefly spoke about some of the people he has reached out to. He said when Congress passed the
American Rescue Plan, it was about helping people who have had hard times due to COVID. His push
for this plan is to make sure we are getting more shots into more arms quickly. The Plan does provide
support for our State in the amount of 54.5 billion dollars in state fiscal relief and also to our local
governments. These are flexible funds.
