Saturday, February 14, 2015 is the Kissimmee Main Street 5k Run. The route has been revised this year and hopefully this will have less of an impact with the street closings downtown. City Manager Steigerwald commended City staff from Parks and Recreation, Fire, Police, and other departments for their participation in the Lakefront Grand Opening Saturday. The crowds were unbelievable and staff did an incredible job. CITY COMMISSION MAYOR SWAN Mayor Swan commented on the Lakefront Grand Opening and felt that there was no doubt that the entire Commission felt the same way but we are sad that Commission Rentas had to miss the event due to a family conflict. COMMISSIONER ALVAREZ Commissioner Alvarez agreed with the comments already mentioned on the Lakefront Park Grand Opening. COMMISSIONER RENTAS Commissioner Rentas wished Mason a very Happy Birthday. Commissioner Rentas reviewed the discussion on the 65 th Infantry Regiment and memorial road naming that was discussed at the Commission meeting on January 20 th. She received the invitation to the unveiling and stated she had the information to be forwarded to the County. Commissioner Rentas also asked staff if anything has been done for the Veteran s Memorial Highway request because she does not want any of our veteran s to be left out. Commissioner Rentas stated she would not be able to attend the Chamber Dinner because she will be moving her daughter back to Kansas because her son-in-law is coming home from Iraq, which is great news. She also apologized for missing the Lakefront Grand Opening but her mother is doing much better and should be coming home from the hospital today.

Motion to approve a donation of $1,000.00 from the Commission Contingency Fund to the Osceola Veteran s Museum Passed 5 0 (Steigerwald/Ady). MAYOR SWAN Mayor Swan commented on the request to name a road after the veteran s and asked for the Commission and staff to think about doing something with the area at the Lakefront that was designed around the area for the Bataan Corridor Memorial. Maybe this should be added to the decision before we do anything. City Manager Steigerwald commented that the semi-circle walk was designed for this at the Lakefront Memorial Lawn. Mayor Swan felt this would be a better way to honor the veterans. City Manager Steigerwald stated that the other thing that was discussed was an idea for branding and a streetscape exercise for the Airport as it was a military base previously. Belinda Kirkegard and Terry Lloyd discussed entry signage off Hoagland Boulevard and eventually adding lighting and signage as the Kissimmee Army Airfield. Mayor Swan stated there is also a large roundabout that has water and electric already installed could possibly be used if it works into the plan. Staff should explore this and talk to the County. Commissioner Rentas asked that we include the County in the discussions.
