further discussion until another meeting when more Commissioners could be present for a
discussion and possible decision.

C. Status of July and August Meeting Dates — Commission moved to cancel the July 15 meeting

D. Art in the Park Assessment — Commission observed the attendance of the 2010 event was
low although there was great weather and good merchandise. The question of adequate
publicity was brought forth. A suggestion was made of closing off Burlingame Ave during
the event to create a synergy between the event and the businesses and restaurants on the
Avenue might help increase attendance and visibility of the Art in the Park event.
