Commission approves Autumn Jubilee vendor sign-up form with added consent language; skelly display expansion discussed
Summary
The commission approved an amended vendor sign-up form for the Autumn Jubilee (including a suggested nonrefundable/consent checkbox), asked staff to publish the form and QR code, and debated expanding the paid/resident "skelly" skeleton displays and how to prioritize placement between residents and vendors.
Commissioners reviewed the proposed vendor sign-up form for the Autumn Jubilee, recommended a stronger consent/acknowledgment checkbox for nonrefundable entry fees and rain-or-shine language, and voted to approve the form with those amendments so it can go live on the Fund Commission page. Staff will publish the vendor sign-up link and QR code once the updates are applied and notify commissioners so outreach and flyer distribution can begin.
A significant portion of the discussion focused on "skelly" skeleton displays for the prairie path. Commissioners recounted that there were roughly 17 displays last year and debated whether to double that number (suggestions ranged to about 30), whether residents should have priority for pole placement, and whether vendors could rent or bring their own skeletons. Commissioners also discussed practical constraints such as cost, electrical needs, and coordination of placement to avoid conflicts between vendors and residents.
The commission asked staff to maintain a clear vendor list, add an explicit nonrefundable acknowledgement on the online form, and confirm the vendor application deadline visible on the form (listed as Monday, Sept. 28). The motion to approve the amended vendor form passed by voice vote; staff will advise when the form is live and circulate the vendor list.
