Summary

Elkhart’s Board approved a $3,135 contract for EnviroFest attractions (a 200-foot zip line, about 30 feet high, 4-hour operation) contingent on legal approval and a $1,500 entertainment contract for the band Wicked for the Aug. 21 Island Park event.

The board approved event contracts for EnviroFest at Island Park, including a $3,135 contract to provide a zip line and staff for Aug. 21, contingent on legal approval. The board amended the motion to make the contract contingent on legal sign-off before finalization and granted staff authority to digitally sign the contract.

Event staff described the zip line as about 200 feet in length with roughly a 30-foot elevation change at the launch; it will operate for four hours during the event. "It's about 200 feet, overall length ... it's about 30 feet," the event organizer said. The board also approved a $1,500 entertainment contract with Wicked to provide a band and sound management services on Aug. 21.
