there is not good way to set up for them to serve food out of the contained area. Uni-card system will allow them to keep minors out of the beer garden. Zip codes are recorded with the Uni-card system which will show who is coming to the event (out of town/in town). The police department has already been informed about the possibility of a beer garden on South Main Street. Wyatt Bowden and Bethany Golden commented that the burned out space on South Main is private property and that an agreement has been reached by the property owner and Buffalo Joe's to use the area. Buffalo Joe's is not a vendor at the festival - they are not paying a fee to set up in the festival itself. Marvin Gorley made a motion to not interfere with Buffalo Joe's. Wyatt Bowden seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Grants Available Grants are available through CLG ; Texas Capital and Parks & Wildlife (examples). Main Street Manager gets notices in the mail about grants available. Grants should fall under the economic development cammittee. Bethany could simply forward the information on to Clifton Fendley, chair of the ED committee, and have that committee review grants. We have to identify the need for a grant and then help write the grant. Since the economic development committee has not been functioning in the past this would give them something to work towards. Marvin Gorley asked about what would make us look better or worse in order to get grants. Bethany explained that each grant is different. For example, in getting the grant for sidewalks we automatically had points against us because af the size of the city. Main Street has been awarded a couple of grants in years past.
