Subject: Coulee Creative Contract Renewal
Hello!
Please see attached Draft 2025 Coulee Creative Contract for our review. There was , y also a
suggestion made (either by you or the Commissioners ... I don't remember which) to have a
paragraph added about product contract ownership transferringto the County should t
ty he
contract be terminated. That's not included in here, I wasn't sure where to add it or how
to word
that.
I will also be talking to the Commissioner's next week about Coulee Creative Touri / sm adopting the
County s per diem policy for travel. Is that something that should be included in here?
Thanks!
