Ms. J. Williams said the city is not receiving any pictures or stories from the public. Our website
is sitting stagnate so she suggested that the centennial webpage be attached to the City's
webpage then more people would see it. She reached out to the Marketing Branch and they
provided a proposal to manage the webpage.
Ms. J. Williams made a motion to direct staff to begin the procurement progress for services to
design and manage our website and social media not to exceed a price of $8500.
b. Pole Banners

Benton suggested they go through the process with the Chamber of Commerce Committee first
then present it to the Centennial Task Force.
D. Historical
a. Civic Organization
Ms. Maio said she has been working on several articles and a timeline for the magazine. She
also suggested that instead of having vendors at the centennial celebration that the civic
organizations have a booth. She said they are what made Sebastian what it is. They can give the
history of how their organization began.
b. Historical Survey
Mr. Osbourne gave a presentation on the advantage of having a historical survey. He said this
would give the city an idea of what the public's interests are. Mr. Benton said the survey would
not benefit this committee because of the time that is involved in gathering the information.
E. Parades & Special Events

Centennial Event.

the upcoming events.
