Staff Report
Date: April 29, 2002
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners —
From: Janet G. Shira, Community Relations/Projects irecto
Subject: Founders' Day Entertainment and Fireworks
Issue
Should the Mayor and Commissioners authorize staff to enter into ontra n otiations for
entertainment and fireworks for Founders' Day?
Background
Both the headline entertainment and the fireworks are estimated to be at or over the $15,000
limit that necessitates City Commission authorization for expending funds.
Discussion
Staff requests authorization to sign a contract for Aaron Tippin at a cost of$30,000. This fee is
payable the day of show and will be made with a combination of city funds and sponsorship
dollars. Staff also requests authorization to enter into a contract with Zambelli Internationale for
the fireworks for Founders' Day. The$15,000 fee for the fireworks will also come from a
combination of city funds and sponsorship dollars.
Due to time constraints, staff researched available talent and notified Commissioners Johnson
and Parker, as well as Michael Miller, of our findings. Of the three top-listed acts that we
narrowed it down to, Aaron Tippin was chosen based on cost and the recommendation of the
music director for K92-FM.
Recommendation
Staff respectfully requests approval from the City Commission to allow staff to book the
headline talent for this year's Founders' Day in an amount not to exceed S30,000. Staff also
respectfully requests approval from the City Commission to contract for the fireworks for the
event at a cost not to exceed $15,000.
