He stated that when the <br />invoice was sent to Game Fair, the payment was sent back at half of the amount, citing that this <br />payment matched past practices. He added he discussed with other Staff and found that this was <br />past practice, however, it was under a different Council and administration. He asked for updated <br />feedback on if this current Council wants to continue this direction. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht stated he would be okay with half of the invoiced amount to leave the <br />possibility of a good future and good relationship with Game Fair. He added that at some point it <br />would be beneficial if there were a police or City Staff out there. He would hate to lose Game Fair. <br />City Council Work Session / September 13, 2022 <br />Page 1 of 16 <br /> <br />
