Item #1 COUNCIL DISCUSSION
• HATS OFF TO HOMETOWN HITS

consideration and that the celebration would not be shut down but rather the funding of the
celebration if the carnival was discontinued.
Council Member Elliott discussed the success of the Open Streets at Penn Fest event and

necessarily provided by the City.

concerns regarding liability which he will discuss with staff.
