Family Days Commission proposes larger 2025 budget; board accepts recommendation
Summary
The Family Days Commission presented a proposed 2025 budget of $116,750 with projected revenues of $35,050 (estimated village net cost $81,700), citing rising vendor and band costs; trustees accepted the commission's recommendations.
The Family Days Commission presented its recommended budget for the 2025 festival at the Dec. 2 Board of Trustees meeting. The commission reported 2024 expenses of $98,516 against $32,384 in revenues (a village net cost reported as $66,132) and proposed a 2025 budget of $116,750 with projected revenues of $35,050 for an estimated net village cost of $81,700.
Justin told trustees that vendor and entertainment costs are rising and highlighted two specific drivers: rides and games increased from about $25,000 to $30,000 and the commission proposed hosting two live bands on July 3 (the band budget rising from roughly $7,600 to $15,000) to meet public demand. Commissioners said they will pursue sponsorships earlier and engage a contractor to improve revenue generation.
Trustees discussed parade timing and coordination with nearby communities and asked staff to continue outreach to schools and local groups; staff said they already contact sports teams and band leadership annually. The board moved, seconded and approved acceptance of the commissionreport and recommendation.
