Shira, Community Relations/Projects Director Subject: Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner Issue Should the Mayor and City Commissioners provide additional funds for this year's Volunteer Appreciation Dinner in order to try a different type of event this year? Background The City has held an annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner for several years to thank the many residents who give their time to serve on our boards and committees. The event originally took place at the Community Center and has been held at Health Central for several years now. For the past three years, Health Central has catered a wonderful meal for about $25 per person. There are roughly 90 volunteers and another 25 people (elected officials and staff) who interact with these volunteers. Each person is invited to bring a guest for a possible grand total of 230 people. For the past three years, we have averaged about 130 people at the dinner. Because of this, staff budgeted$3,500 for this year's event. Discussion Because of the number of people, there are only a couple of places in Ocoee where we can hold the event. Health Central is the best location to accommodate the group. We have also checked into the Colony Plaza which could hold a maximum of 125 and the Woman's Club which has a maximum capacity of 150. If we were to hold the event outside Ocoee, the options are, of course, endless. In West Orange, there is the West Orange Country Club and beyond that there are countless opportunities in Orlando, along the International Drive corridor, or at the theme parks. Staff has three options for the City Commission to consider for this year's event. (1) The dinner could remain at Health Central, in which case additional funds will only be needed if the total count changes dramatically. POWT, Protect Ocoee's Water Resources `= Page 2 Staff Report-Volunteer Dinner January 10, 2000 (2) The dinner could be held at Church Street Station. Keeping the event on a Friday evening, there would be a dinner in one of the private banquet rooms which includes admission to the Church Street Station entertainment complex afterwards. There are three different clubs to enjoy: Rosie O'Grady's, which features World Famous Dixieland Jazz, the Cheyenne Saloon, which has live Country music in a Wild West Saloon setting, and the Orchid Garden, which has live Rock `N Roll classics from the 50's to today. The cost per person for Church Street is estimated to be $40. (3) Either a luncheon or dinner cruise aboard the Rivership Romance, an old-fashioned riverboat that cruises the St. Johns River from Lake Monroe in Sanford. There are Saturday and Sunday cruises available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or evening cruises Sunday through Thursday. A full meal is served in air conditioned comfort. Afterwards, there is entertainment inside, or you can choose to sit outdoors. If a luncheon cruise is available, guests can take in the river's pristine scenery and see some of Florida's wildlife. The boat has a capacity of 200 people. The cost per person for the Rivership Romance is estimated to be $40. Although attendance has been steady at 130 +/- for the last three years, in estimating expenses, staff is basing costs on 250 people. This would mean a maximum of$10,000.00 for the event. There is already $3,500 budgeted, so that leaves a maximum of $6,500 additional dollars that would be needed. If attendance remains at 130, the total expenses would drop to $5,200.00 and only$1,700.00 additional would be needed. Depending on availability, we are planning to schedule the event for either the last week of February or the first week of March. In order to provide you with as much information as possible, I have attached copies of brochures and menus from Church Street Station and Rivership Romance. I will be unable to attend the Commission meeting, but I would be happy to answer any other questions or discuss this further with any of you at your convenience prior to the meeting. Recommendation Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve of either the Church Street Station or Rivership Romance locations, depending on availability, and authorize an amount not to exceed $6,500 to be taken from contingency to cover the additional cost of the event. There is $115,036.40 currently in contingency. cc: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager Wanda Horton, Finance Director Pow Protect Ocoee`s Water Resources °„ 'i p R I-V Avvr E ) iJ - j il 1 0 I r , 71. , 0i ., r .. 4i, i e -\ Ill j '?— . i ....... ....../ [ ✓("' .° � . el 4711112,e_. 9M Thank you for your interest in constantly creating new and exciting Church Street Station, Orlando's_ culinary masterpieces.
