Alderwoman Kelly
That works out to $12.50 per meal.
Mr. Creedon I'll see you at every game.
Alderman O’Brien
| just want to say welcome, | think this is great, | mean it’s one of the better assets to this City for the family fun,
to come out on a nice night and enjoy a decent ballgame, take concession advantages, nothing like a hot dog
at Hollman Stadium. They taste better there for sure. | wish the best of luck to your franchise.
Mr. Creedon Thank you very much.
Alderman Laws
How do | follow that up really, | don’t want to be the only person not to welcome you into the community. I’
excited and | was going to ask you afterwards, but I'll just invite you now to Downtown Improvements
Committee at some point. Hopefully there is something we can do to work with you to get the local downtown
businesses involved with the stadium. | remember, just anecdotally, years ago there was a bartender, small
business owner downtown that used to have something called Stars & Bars where they would take all the local
bartenders and place them on teams against people on the Knights. And it was a great time, packed stadium.

Mayor Donchess
| think that’s a good idea, so Alderman Laws could pitch, it would be great.
Alderman Caron
So Mayor if | remember, the last time you were Mayor, we had a ball team playing out there, it was the Board
of Aldermen against all these various employees and Department heads at Hollman Stadium and that turned
into a... community or health department chief, Dolly Dollavance was part of that crew.
Mayor Donchess
Maybe we should do that again.
Alderman Klee
A bat in my hand is a lethal weapon, we don’t want that. And | was going to add that | still have the video of
Alderman Laws throwing out that first pitch. Anybody wants to see it, | have it on the phone.
Alderman Laws
It was a great honor Mayor thank you, extending you that courtesy | appreciate it.
Mayor Donchess
Any other discussion? All those in favor of the motion?
MOTION CARRIED
Mayor Donchess
And this will be voted on by the Board of Aldermen Tuesday.
