    Dear Mayor Hokanson;

    I would like to inform you of two separate complaints I received regarding the Peruvian Day Celebration at the Casano Center. The first complaint came from Maxine Padulsky and she alleges that at the event a Spanish-speaking woman who is friends with Joe Deloria and Thos Shipley was campaigning for them at the event held at the center. The second complaint came from Councilman Richard Templeton and he alleges that his wife who also speaks Spanish actually heard the woman campaigning. Their concerns now are, in September there will be an art show coming to the center and Thos Shipley was asked to sing at the event. According to Maxine no mention of Thos singing was mentioned when the application was made and the woman running this event is friends with Thos and may be politically motivated. Mr. Templeton also has these concerns.

    I would like to propose that we adopt a policy for the center and I will bring it to the members of the Casano Center Committee that anyone seeking a political position in the town that they or their associates cannot campaign at the Casano Center and use _these public events to their advantage. Such events as the Peruvian, Columbian, etc .. are to bring the community together as a whole not for anyone to take advantage or use an event for their personal agenda. In closing an addition to our bylaws possibly can be that anyone seeking a political position cannot campaign at the center or and if they do they must leave the event.
