Events committee seeks larger budget for 250th: fireworks cost cited at $1,000 per minute
Summary
Jennifer Crane said outreach for the events committee's appeals letter is underway but contact updates at prospective donors complicate fundraising; she said fireworks cost $1,000 per minute and the town is locked in for 25 minutes this year, while current town support is $10,000.
Jennifer Crane told the board the appeals letter for the events committee is ready to mail but said she needs help locating updated contacts at Gear, Mountainside and BD. She said the town is already contracted for 25 minutes of fireworks and that the vendor charges $1,000 per minute; the town currently budgets $10,000 for fireworks and Crane requested paperwork to seek a budget increase to support expanded 250th-year programming.
Crane also noted logistical questions for large events such as porta-potties and said the board would assist with outreach and planning. Mr. Allyn offered to try to connect Crane with contacts at Mountainside.
Provenance: based on the events-committee report recorded in the meeting transcript.
