At that time, staff asked for direction for <br /> the upcoming 2007 event. Thc City Council consensus at that meeting was for staff to plan a <br /> condensed vcrsion of the cvent for 2007 in order for the future of thc event to be evaluated <br /> f1111hcr. Based on those discussions, below is thc staff recommendation on how to proceed for <br /> this year's cvent: . <br /> Music in the Park followed bv Fireworks <br /> Advcrtise our event with a theme of music in the park and a fireworks finalc on our traditional <br /> Celebrating Ardcn Hills date. Staff has contacted the Shorevicw Northem Lights Variety Band <br /> and they are available and very intercsted in participating in our event. <br /> Band Time: 8:30-10:00 p.m. <br /> Date of display: June 23, 2007 - dusk (approximately 10:00 p.m.) <br /> Location: Tony Schmidt Regional Park <br /> Approximate Budget: *$10,500 (fireworks, insurance, park pemlit, gencrator rental, <br /> showmobilc rental, band. <br /> *This figure does not include any Public Works salaries. We would have to have a couple of public works stafr and <br /> the Parks and Recreation Manager on duty to deliver and monitor the generator, set up the safety zone, and to <br /> manage event. <br /> A condensed vcrsion of Celcbrating Arden Hills will allow for limited parking at Tony Schmidt <br /> Park (the large parking arc a across from the lakc will not be available duc to the fireworks safcty . <br /> zone) and the road will not be closed. Sponsorships may be a challenge with a down sized event. <br /> It could be a possibility to find a few larger sponsors to cover the fireworks and/or the band. <br /> RECOMMENDA TION <br /> Staff recommends approval of the above rccommendations for the 2007 Celebrating Arden Hills . <br /> event. <br /> IIMctro,inet.uslardenhiIIsIPR&P\\'IRen~ation\M I :1\10SIRccol1llllendations Illr ('A 1-1 2007 _doc <br />
