issues. She wanted to commend your recent work on establishing Isleton's active representation in the League of California Cities. I think we can all agree that any opportunity intended to give Isleton increased exposure and representation, to educate Isleton's public servants and enhance their performance, and to provide access to professional development is work our time and effort. This is a positive investment in our city. Without the City's Investment and Mr. Kent's commitment and initiative, this opportunity for Isleton would have remained an untapped resource. Sebastian Maldonado requested that the City take down the old festival link and add their link theisletoncrawdadfestival.com. Would like to see letter in response to the cease and assist letter. Sebastian would also like a multi-year contract for the festival.
