Title
Lunchtime Event Series at the Downtown Community Plaza (NB)
Explanation
The Downtown Redevelopment Advisory Board has recommended that a $6,500 budget be established for the creation of a monthly lunchtime event series to be held at the Downtown Community Plaza. This budget will cover the cost for the first three events. After several events, staff will provide a clearer estimate of actual costs associated with the event series and will request funding for the next events.
The first event is scheduled for April 28, 2005. The event will run from 11am to 2pm and will offer swing music. The event is targeted at downtown workers. Staff is working with several downtown restaurants to offer box lunches that can be ordered in advance.
Fiscal Note
The CRA has $60,000 budgeted in Capital Projects MY-610-790-W218-5520 that could be used for this project.
Recommendation
Downtown Redevelopment Advisory Board to the CRA: Recommend the creation of the $6,500 budget for the first three events in the lunchtime event series planned for the Downtown Community Plaza.
