Conover noted that it would be a good program for a particular sports program but not for this Committee. The con- sensus was that we would not pursue this program. The request of a band to sell their tapes at their Sunday concert was discussed. Richards felt that it was ok, Cavicchi felt that it was fine as long as it is not aggressive, Pacino was not-in favor of it and Lynch noted that the fundraising group for Under- standing Handicaps does it already. A motion was made by Cav- vichi and seconded by Hanley that the entertainers at Sunday eve- ning and Wednesday afternoon events should be allowed to sell products related to their groups. The Recreation Revolving Fund would get a percentage or flat fee as negotiated by the Recrea- tion Supervisor if possible. Motion passed 4:1:0.
