Commission approves $11,100 Juneteenth budget to jump-start vendor and performer bookings
Summary
The commission voted to approve $11,100 in preliminary Juneteenth expenses (bands, sound, DJ, bounce house, shirts/marketing); commissioners directed staff and a newly formed task group to open vendor registration and begin sponsorship outreach immediately.
The Huber Heights Citizen Action Commission voted to authorize a preliminary Juneteenth budget of $11,100 so the task group can secure performers, sound, and vendors ahead of the June event.
"Dollars 11,100, dollars 11,100 is what it does," said the task-group lead while presenting an itemized estimate that included $3,500 for the main band, $1,700 for sound, $600 for a DJ, $3,000 estimated for a bounce house, $1,000 for an opening band and $1,300 for shirts and marketing. The revenue plan projected $500 from five food trucks ($100 each), $1,000 from retail vendor fees (20 vendors at $50 each) and a $5,000 sponsorship target to reduce the commission's net cost.
A motion to pass the $11,100 budget was made, seconded and approved; the commission then solicited volunteers for the Juneteenth task group and agreed to make vendor registration live on the city's events portal as soon as possible. Staff and task-group members were asked to prepare sponsor letters, reach out to returning vendors from prior years and set a registration deadline. The commission did not record a detailed roll-call tally in the transcript; the motion outcome was recorded as approved.
