The Team Waterloo Marketing Plan was presented. The game

Councilperson Fox inquired as to whether or not they
received many complaints on the parking situation in the
downtown. Mr. Shirley indicated that when there are large
conventions at the Civic Center, that parking is a problem
in the ramp. As these situations occur they are dealt with
as needed.

was adjourned.
