She noted the rough estimate is $30,000 if we do a 1:0 from 10:00 <br />p,m. She noted we can go to the community and ask for money, and are currently doing <br />that. She said to Council is the Day In the Park that important to Council to spend that <br />kind of money and if we do it this year we may be committed to do it every year, If the <br />City is not willing to financially back it up then should we go back to the 4 hour day. <br />Currently we are budgeted at $10,000, Mayor said he would find time to solicit the <br />businesses that are wiling to give money. Last year we raised $33,000. Olson noted we <br />do not have a lot of former committee members to help, We would need more committee <br />members to help with some of the tasks. $2,500 was for the parade though this year we <br />are looking for participants who do not require payment or donation. Larson noted we <br />had such a great day last year and we cannot equal that and would prefer to start out with <br />something smaller but of quality and build on that. Aplikowski said we need the <br />reassurance the money will be there. Olson noted the committee really needs to move <br />forward quickly - fireworks have been promised to people. Aplikowski said she'd really <br />like to put together as much of a parade as possible, Larson said he believes it will be <br />harder to have a parade in the afternoon because he believes people are not as busy in the <br />morning. Lynch noted we still have a $200,000 surplus in the operations budget and <br />
