2003 BUSINESS APPRECIATION DAY <br />By: Megan Wald, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The 2003 Business Appreciation Day is set for Tuesday, August 19, 2003. The event will be held <br />at the Links at Northfork with a full day of golf (18 holes), a dinner catered by LeTourneau's <br />Supervalu, and prizes! Staff is currently working on the invitation that will be sent out to the <br />business community at the end of June (hopefully a copy of the invitation will be handed out at <br />the meeting). <br /> <br />The cost for the event will be $90.00 per person. The fee includes: 18-holes of goif, golf cart, a <br />give-away bag (usually consists of a shirt and golf balls), dinner, and of course a wide variety of <br />PRIZES that are given out at the end of the day. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The Mayor would like to obtain the EDA's input regarding what piece of apparel the City should <br />provide in the "goodie" bag this year. For the past several years the City has provided a polo <br />shirt with either the City logo or golf logo on the front. In an attempt to possibly provide <br />something different this year to the participants, staff and the Mayor have identified a few other <br />options: <br /> <br />Item: Price: <br /> <br />Pull-over windbreaker jacket with city logo <br />Denim Shirt (long or short sleeve) with city logo <br /> <br />or keeping with past tradition <br />Polo Shirt with City logo <br /> <br />$18.00 <br />$16.00 <br /> <br />$12.50 <br /> <br />Staff will provide a sample of the windbreaker, denim shirt, and polo shirt used as last years <br />giveaway. <br /> <br />The tournament price will be raised by $5.00 this year to cover the additional expenditure for <br />either the windbreaker or denim shirt and to cover general increase in event costs. It should be <br />noted that the City still has one of the cheapest event rates. The Chamber of Commerce golf and <br />dinner event, which takes place on July 9th, is $95.00 per person. Even after raising the price <br />$5.00 the City's rate is very comparable to other similar events held in the surrounding area. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />The EDA should provide staff and the Mayor with input regarding whether to provide a <br />windbreaker, denim shirt, or polo shirt for the main item in the "goodie bag" for the 2003 <br />Business Appreciation Day. <br /> <br />EDA: 6.9.03 <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
