Kelly Miller Circus Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes May 9, 2006 The committee spent the bulk of the meeting discussing and delegating items that need to be done prior to the circus on May 31, 2006. Tickets will be distributed to the ticket outlets on May 10, 2006. Pre-sale tickets are $5 for children under 12, $9 for adults, and children under 2 years of age are free. The outlets are as follows: Ticket Outlets Apple Academy of Centerville Child Care Apple Academy of Hugo Child Care Center Mart (Marathon) Centerville City Hall Centerville Pet Foods Corner Express Hugo Feed Mill and Hardware 1845 Main Street, Centerville 5525 141st Street North, Hugo 1801 Main Street, Centerville 651~762-8911 651-407-8800 651-426-4880 1880 Main Street, Centerville 1885 Main Street, Centerville 1990 Main Street, Centerville 5582 146th Street North, Hugo 651-429-3232 651-762-7598 651-426~6608 651-429-3361 Per the contract with the Circus, the committee has the ability to sell banners to businesses to hang inside the Big Top with the limit of six (6) at 4 x 6'. The Circus recommended charging $100 per business to do so. Chairperson Peterson has contacted Gator Signs regarding making banners and the cost was over $100 per banner. Because oftime constraints and the amount of work involved, the committee members decided to offer the businesses who have supported the committee by consenting to sell circus tickets the option of hanging a banner inside the big top at no charge to them, but the business would have to supply the banner. Motion was made by Committee Member Seeley, seconded by Committee Member Merkel to offer businesses who are circus ticket outlets the option of hanging a banner in the Big Top for at least one of the two performances at no charge if the banner is supplied by the business. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. The Kelly Miller Circus provided the committee with 800 coloring contest forms which Committee Member Amundsen will drop off at Centerville Elementary School. The winner will be chosen by the Circus Staff and announced at each performance. There are area businesses that ordered pre-sale tickets, but opted to donate the tickets back to the community. The Parks & Recreation Committee has 40 children tickets and is looking for a way to donate them to a group or groups who perhaps have financial constraints and would not otherwise be able to see the circus. Committee Member Amundsen worked with the Circus regarding advertising and the Circus has agreed to pay for 2/3 of the cost of 9,200 fliers to be included in the Quad Press which will be distributed May 23,2006. The Circus also provided the copies to the Quad Press. The cost to the City will be $150. The committee is also looking for volunteers to be crowd control representatives at each performance. 20f3
