Subject: Best Fest Premier Sponsorship
Background Summary:
As part of the city's economic development program, in late 2015 the commission discussed a partnership with
the West Orange Chamber of Commerce to hold their signature event "Best Fest" on Starke Lake at Lakeshore
Drive. In addition to providing the venue, there was discussion of a moderate financial allocation which would
be used to cover the rental of tables, chairs and portable rest room facilities.
The event is now scheduled for Thursday, April 14, 2016 from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm. An allocation of $3,000 is
requested at this time as the remainder of the city's obligation toward this event.
Issue:
The $3,000 sponsorship will qualify the city as a $5,000 premier event sponsor since the in-kind use of the park
and lakeshore center contribute significant value to the city's donation. Details of the Premier Sponsorship are
attached.
Recommendations
Staff recommends the commission authorize a one-time payment to the West Orange Chamber of Commerce
for$3,000 for a premier sponsorship of Best Fest 2016.
