Summary

City staff reported Copperfest finished the year 'in the black', outlined visitor‑kiosk quotes and material estimates, and described promotional efforts including contests, calendars and street decorations planned for late September.

A city staff member briefed the council during department reports on recent events and promotional work. "Mister Dave Kukowski came in to give us an update on Copperfest," the staff member said, and reported Copperfest ‘‘had a really good year that we're in the black."

Staff described preliminary quotes for a visitor center kiosk and said the city is exploring concrete and material estimates and potential collaboration with the high school to reduce costs. The staff member also outlined promotional efforts: a social‑media contest with a roughly $50 prize package, calendars and plans for street decorations expected to appear around Sept. 23.

Councilors asked staff to continue refining cost estimates and vendor quotes for the kiosk, and to coordinate with the chamber of commerce to maximize local business participation in event promotion. No formal financial commitment for the kiosk was recorded in the transcript.
