Member Karpen asked if there would be a way to review the information closer to the event date, in terms of the amount of food that would be ordered. Economic Development Manager Sullivan stated that if attendance increases to more than anticipated, they would order enough food. He stated that the recommendation to order food for 120 was based on 140 people stating they were going to attend. He confirmed that they could make an adjustment, using a similar percentage, if attendance increased. He stated that Member Johnson’s suggestion could also help to hone in on the anticipated number of people who would be eating breakfast.
