<br />Circus. The Circus allows the Sponsor to sell four 4 x 6 banners for advertising to be displayed inside <br />the tent at a suggested price of $100 per b8.nner. The banners would be supplied by the advertising <br />businesses. This would be a potential for recouping the $290 Contracting Fee. The Circus offers <br />guided tours on Circus morning. Circus personnel set up the big top at 9 am. as there are usually <br />many residents who like to watch the tent being set up, as well as offering school field trips to view the <br />setup. The day of the Circus, there would be elephant and pony rides offered, as well as a moon jump. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson asked what the absolute deadline was for letting the Circus know if the City was <br />interested in booking and was told by Mr. Rawls, it is a first come first serve basis and since the May <br />31, 2006 date is the only date available, it mayor may not be taken by the time Council can review the <br />information and make a decision. The Parks & Recreation Committee would like to sponsor this. <br />event, but felt it was important to do additional research. The committee discussed whether there was <br />enough room at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. Chairperson Peterson said he thought there would be <br />enough room to accommodate 300' x 300' feet and a fire hydrant is accessible. The question was <br />asked what if Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park ends up being too wet and the Circus is unable to set up <br />at that site and it was suggested approaching Mr. Rich Defoe to see ifhe would be agreeable to using <br />his property at Waterworks for a backup site in the event the park is unable to be used. Chairperson <br />Peterson will contact Mr. Defoe. Chairperson Peterson will also call references; Committee Member <br />Amundsen will request a copy of the big top plans to ensure it will fit in the area at Laurie LaMotte <br />Memorial Park. The Committee would like Mr. Larsen to review the proposal. It was also suggested <br />Waste Management be contacted to see if they would donate garbage receptacles in exchange for an <br />advertising banner being placed in the tent. (Waste Management has agreed.) <br /> <br />Motion was made by ChairpenoD Petenon, seeonded by Committee Member Merkel to request <br />City ConeD approve the Parks &: Recreation Committee sponsoring the Kelly MUler Circus <br />fund raising event eontingent upon the review of the City Administrator, Mr. Dallas Larson and <br />the above questions be resolved.
