The weather could not have been <br />better and everything ran fairly smoothly. The purpose of to day's discussion will be to evaluate <br />the event and make a few decisions regarding the 2006 event and beyond. <br /> <br />A. Budget Analysis - Is tbe City Council comfortable witb the expense/revenue of <br />tbe event? Attached you will find the budget report for the 2005 Celebrating <br />Arden Hills Event. The City did bring in over $19,000 in sponsorships - which was <br />around $4,000 more than the previous year. However, the event expense did go up <br />from last year. This was due to most prices going up from last year and adding and <br />extending a few activities to fill voids.
