Otsego's 25th Anniversary Party
Therewill be a meeting next Tuesday night for the Committee. Zonja suggested a time capsule,
perhaps for the future and perhaps from twenty five years ago and perhaps a time capsule of
visions, what the original elected officials, envisioned and what we citizens and staff envision
for the next 25 years. Gail mentioned the idea of a Medallion search following a history trail.
The actual date of the Anniversary is November 15, 1990.
Gentleman and his metal detector: Toni has talked with a man who has a new metal detector
and would like to try it out at the old City Hall/school in Otsego. The City has no objection as
long as he signs a waiver stating that anything he finds belongs to the City. Jessica will check
with the City Attorney about such a form, possibly from the MacDonald/ Peavey house Dig.
Meeting adjourned at 8pm. Next meeting will be Tuesday, May 12 at 7pm.
