Rose stated that the Manager and Staff will further support these functions within the City. Rose explained that, thus far, Staff has updated and provided guidelines to the leaders of the community organizations for hosting events at the Center and requested a copy of the organization’s bylaws so that Staff may structure contracts according to the organization’s calendar and better anticipate their needs. Discussion ensued regarding upcoming events and announcements by committee members affiliated with community organizations. Rose further explained that the Colleyville Center that one of the goals, with 25 th Anniversary marketing efforts, is to reintroduce the Center to the community and the discount rates available for residents and community organizations.
