Committee reviews budget and sponsorships; petting zoo debated over cost
Summary
Staff reported a remaining balance of $4,578.93 from the $5,000 allocation; the committee discussed a petting-zoo quote of $100 per hour and whether the budget supports a shortened reservation.
Staff reported the festival account had been approved for $5,000 and staff’s tally showed a current balance of $4,578.93. "So so you guys approved $5,000 and it looks like we're at $4,578.93," staff said.
Committee members discussed spending priorities and optional attractions. A petting-zoo vendor quoted $100 per hour; members debated whether to reserve the zoo for a shorter window (for example, three hours) so it would fit the remaining budget. The committee also logged small sponsorships and gift-certificate donations (a $200 check from 1st State Bank and $250 from Resource Bank plus several $10–$20 certificates) that could be used for prizes.
