Several items came to our attention last year which precluded us from having as successful a party as hoped for; namely, location, band and food. In order to resolve these problems the committee has met several times during January and February and have investigated a number of areas of concern. We have reached the following conclusion: If Council intends continuing the Awards Banquet in the future, we would like to suggest provision be made for retention of a portion of funds available for deposit monies for the following year. We offer the fol- lowing information for your review: Location for the 1980 Annual Awards Banquet will be: Community Center at City Hall The band will be: "Autumn" Catering: Final choice not made to date. Estimated amount of monies needed for this year is $2500, the same amount as was previously authorized. Estimated amount of deposit monies needed is $200. Our preliminary work has revealed a minor problem which needs authorization from Council before the commiteee can proceed. Attached is a letter from Mr. Stan Gibbs, who represents the band "Autumn." Mr. Gibbs would like a deposit from us as soon as possible as his group is already booked for the month of December, 1980 (including our banquet), and he needs confirmation. The caterer of our choice will also require a deposit to confirm our reservation. The committee would appreciate it if Council would authorize an expenditure of $200 out of this year's account in order to guarantee both of these services. This year's committee (which is comprised of the same members as last year's) calls to your attention the fact that we were able to retain a $600 balance in the Honorable ~yor and City Council April ll, 1980 Page 2 Re: Annual Awards Banquet/Deposit monies account. Of the S2500 allocated, we spent $1900 and returned $600 to the City treasury. We were able to achieve this savings through ticket sales. We will make the same endeavor to be equally thrifty this coming year. We will request the S200 from the $600 balance remaining subject to your approval. May we have Council's decision regarding the authorization to use $200 from this year's remaining funds ($600) to assist us in retaining the services of the band and caterer of our choice? We would also like to take this opportunity to once again thank all the Council members for their past and continuing support on behalf of all the City employees and the Annual Award Committee. We appreciate it. Respectfully submitted, Marilyne ~Ki er Frank Semelsb~rge'r' ~ Co-Chairpersons, Annual Awards Committee MK/FS:hlr
