Staff believes <br />moving the event to another day that doesn't have a large event (cornhole, gun show) will help with parking. <br />Staff also believes that creating maps to be distributed to the vendors ahead of time and online that identify vendor <br />parking areas and attendee parking areas would be helpful. The use of signage will also be a possibility. <br />Staff agrees that vendors tearing down early is not a good look for the Expo. It also creates issues with people <br />leaving through entry points with materials from their booth. Staff is open to more education and to be <br />empowered to stop vendors that are tearing down early if that is the direction of the EDA as a whole. Staff also <br />thinks that if the event is maybe an hour shorter, it might result in vendors not getting anxious to leave due to <br />lower vendor traffic near the end of the event. <br />No formal motion is needed to implement changes above, just the provision of staff direction by consensus. <br />Funding Source: <br />N/A <br />Recommendation: <br />Select Adrenaline Sports Center as the home of the 2024 Business Expo and to reserve the venue for April 12, <br />2025. <br />and; <br />Budget $5,500 as the EDA allocation for the 2025 Business Expo. <br />Action: <br />Motion to select Adrenaline Sports Center as the home of the 2025 Business Expo and to reserve the venue for <br />April 12, 2025 and to budget and to approve 2025 event budget. <br />Attachments <br />2024 Biz Expo Report <br />ACTION- 2024 Actual 2025 Proposed Budget <br />ACTION - ASC Contract Addendum <br />Reference 2024 ASC Contract <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Sean Sullivan (Originator) Sean Sullivan 05/30/2024 02:01 PM <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 06/05/2024 08:15 AM <br />Form Started By: Sean Sullivan Started On: 05/28/2024 10:57 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 06/05/2024 <br />
