City said it’s ok to serve the liquor thru Cheers Bar. Cheers pays for the police officers. Jamie moved to accept the liquor sales for the roller derby, Allan 2nd. Discussion was to ask for 10% of sales & No glass allowed. All were in favor.

Need to create a policy from now on to use the bars that we sell pull tabs at. Lumberjack, Foundry, Munger Tavern or Tap on 33.

Brianna & Mike met with the city of Cloquet to discuss the 1/2% sales tax. A percentage is going to the rinks. They need to know what our long range plans are. Stevens Company from Hudson, WI can create a business plan for the facilities for $3600. It’s a value to the city….maybe city will pay?? Mike left a message for the city to ask how much they will pay for. The board agrees we should move forward on this planning & invite Stevens Co to come & talk with us.
