CONSENT CALENDAR: Before requesting a motion to approve the Consent Calendar, the Mayor stated that he would like to make a short comment. One of the items on the Consent Calendar was a Joint Powers Agreement with Canyon County pertaining to the Fair Grounds. This was the result of more than two years of hard work by many members of the Rodeo Board, the Fair Board, the County Commissioners, City Council Members and Staff to make sure that we provide the most professional and well run Fair in the State. This was probably the culmination of a dream that Jim Dakan and Ed Griffith had many years ago. Councilman Dakan was heavily involved in raising the funds to help procure this property. When people work together, dreams can be fulfilled. Jerry Gunstream, Canyon County Fair Board, was present and has put in a lot of time and helped to put together the agreement tonight. Jerry Gunstream, 212 Tenth Avenue South in Nampa was recognized by the Mayor. He commented that they did know this was going to be included on the Consent Calendar this evening and felt that this was a historic moment in the City of Caldwell and Canyon County. This has only come about because of Mayor Nancolas's leadership and Council's support of that leadership. As a Fair Board, they were committed to making sure that this Fair lives out its potential to be one of the greatest Fairs in this part of the country. They were grateful for the partnership that now exists. The Mayor presented the following items on the Consent Calendar for consideration by the City Council Members: 1. Dispense with the reading of the minutes of the July 1, 2002 Regular Council Meeting and approve as written; 2.
