seconded (Joyce Vincent) and carried to approve of the agenda. Motion was made (Bonnie Brozak), seconded (Joyce Vincent) and carried to approve of the December 2003 minutes as written. Financial report was reviewed and discussed.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Crime and Safety:</B> No issues raised.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Unity Jam:</B> Al Brown presented details of the July 4, 2004, event schedule for Boom Island, noon to 9 p.m. (City will conduct fireworks at 10 p.m. from another location.) Unity Jam event has been in business since 1996, first at Loring Park, then Midway Stadium, then St. Louis. Formerly known as MarleyFest Minnesota. Admission is $17 (kids free); will have admission gates and fence so that people are not walking through yards to get in. Approximately 8,000-10,000 people are expected. Brown will provide pair of free tickets to each of the Boom Island Village homes. It was noted that for past events like this, off-duty police and parking passes for neighbors were provided. Music stages will be oriented so that sound goes towards river, said Brown. He will check on access to marina parking. There will be no early a.m. sound checks on Sunday; will take care of that Saturday afternoon. Entire Boom Island Park is slated for the event. He promised that clean-up will be “excellent.” No alcohol will be allowed. Focus will be family-oriented, with 30 vendors each for food, retail, health. Rainville will put Brown in touch with Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association. It was suggested that possibly more security or a defined number is needed, due to size of anticipated crowd, but STAWNO could approve this contingent on final detailed security report in June. It was recommended the gate off 7<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#003399" FACE="Arial" >th</FONT> Avenue be locked. Rainville will send letter to Park Board contact reiterating this discussion. It was also noted that July 4 this year will include bigger than usual events at Nicollet Island and beyond due to Grand Excursion.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Housing:</B> “Affordable Housing 101” meeting sponsored by SNO was announced.
