i � TO: Parks & Recreation Committee FROM: Kim Stephan DATE: Apri130, 2010 SUBJECT: Music in the Park As far as the flier goes we need to determine where the performances are going to be held, either at Hidden Springs or Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park? One issue is there electricity, or enough electricity at Hidden Spring Park to support bands performing there? Correspondence from Mr. Tom Lee regarding electricity at Hidden Spring Park: I talked to Paul Palzer this morning. He is looking into options for power. There is a junction box near the street we may be able to sling good power from, which would be perfect. It would be readily available when needed for "city" business but not accessible by the general public. Public Works also has a generator that Paul said "runs pretty quiet. " So we should be able to work something out. � For clarification, only bands that would run a P.A. system using more than 1 S amps would have a I problem. A small P.A. will still worl� but that pretty much limits the size of an "electric" band at that ' venue to maybe a trio, unless the drummer has excellent control, probably not a rock band. Mr. Palzer said the existing receptacle is only 10 amps, BIIT there are three blank 10 amp circuits in the box. 30 Amps would be enough for pretty much arry band, so run two cords from the box, plus the � existing outlet, makes 30 amps total, so it is possibde to put rock bands at Hidden Springs. The tentative lineup is as follows. BBB Jazz, 7 Cat Swing, Centennial Community Band and Banjo Boys Jazz Band have all confirmed. Mr. Tom Lee will confirm the bands for July 13 and July 27 by Wednesday, May Sth. $150 � July 13 � 2 Teen Bands ($75 each) $250 � July 20 � BBB Jazz Combo $250 � July 27 � Brethren $200 � August 3 � Banjo Bandits $250 � Augnst 10 � 7 Cat Swing $250 � August 17 - Centennial Community Band / 35 piece This would leave $150 in the budget for an ice cream social. T'he July 27th performance is the week prior to Fete des Lacs weekend. Mr. Lee suggested contacting the Lions to see if they would like their concession stand in the park for that performance.
