Committee approves $25 menu and reserves venue for Cruisers Appreciation Day; nonprofit meal policy deferred
Summary
The Anchorage Advisory Committee voted to accept the same $25-per-plate laminated menu used last year and authorized a $2,000 minimum reservation for the Cruisers Appreciation Day on April 12, 2026. The committee deferred a decision on charging nonprofits for meals pending input from Jennifer (absent).
Sam (event organizer) presented options for Cruisers Appreciation Day catering and recommended using the laminated menu from last year at $25 per plate with a $2,000 minimum guarantee. Ed Schoonover moved to accept the menu as presented; Chris Riedel King seconded. Members voted in favor and the motion passed.
Sam said the menu includes meal, drink, tax and tip and asked to have food available to staff and vendors at 11 a.m. for a noon-to-3 p.m. event on April 12, 2026. Committee members assigned outreach to specific businesses and sponsors, and Curtis agreed to compile sponsor and permit documents from last year for distribution.
Committee members debated whether to charge nonprofit vendors for meals or provide one complimentary meal per table; several members expressed concern about covering costs and agreed to defer the final decision until Jennifer, who coordinated nonprofits last year, could provide input at the next meeting.
No budget appropriation was finalized at the meeting; the committee agreed to reserve the vendor minimum now and continue vendor and sponsorship outreach.
