C. Update on St. John’s Public Pier and Kayak Launch Schaefer said the bids are in for the public pier, Common Council approved one of the bids, and the pier is due to be installed in June. Schaefer said the pier will need to be in place before a place will be chosen for the kayak launch. 8. New Business Discussion and possible action on the following items: A. Delafield Arts Foundation Fee Waiver Request for 2026 Liberty Park Live Concert Series The Delafield Arts Foundation is scheduling concerts for the summer concert series. The rental fees for the park and stage apply but since the Delafield Arts Foundation is doing the work and raising the money to make the summer concert series possible, a fee waiver would be justified. Motion by Mark Schaefer, seconded by Sherrie Flemming, to waive the park and stage rental fees for the Delafield Arts Foundation for the June, July, and August concert series.
