SUBJECT: NORTH LAUDERDALE DAYS 2007

---

The Parks and Recreation Department is working on plans for North Lauderdale Days 2007. This year’s 44^th Anniversary event is planned for the weekend of Friday, April 27^th through Saturday, April 28^th, 2007. Although we are only in the early discussion stages, we are planning to hold some new activities in the months of April and May in celebration of our City’s Anniversary.

As in past years, N.L. Days will feature 2 stages, (one on field 4 and one in the parking lot). The event will feature musical entertainment by 4 to 5 different groups, school groups and some community participation including a firework show on Saturday evening. The event is budgeted at $58,000 – with expenses estimated in the following manner ($17,000 for music entertainment, $9,500 for fireworks, and the balance for set-up, rides, games, performers, and staff costs). We will be sharing the final plans for North Lauderdale Days 2007 with the Commission by early March.

One of the main segments of North Lauderdale Days has been the wide variety of music that is offered throughout the weekend. For the past 8+ years, the City has used Style Entertainment to provide the event music and sound equipment. Style Entertainment is used throughout Broward County by various cities including Margate, Coral Springs, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Tamarac, Miramar and Sunrise. It is our intention to use Style Entertainment again this year to provide Musical Entertainment and Sound for North Lauderdale Days 2007 in an amount not to exceed $17,000.00.

In addition, the Department will be working with other groups to conduct various North Lauderdale Days activities. These groups include BSO, City’s Fire/Rescue, Multi-Cultural Committee, local Schools, Parks and Recreation Board and other interested resident groups within the City.

RECOMMENDATION: The City Administration recommends Commission’s consideration and approval of the following two resolutions:

1. Resolution establishing North Lauderdale Days 2007 as April 27 thru April 28, 2007.

2. Resolution authorizing the City Manager to contract with Style Entertainment in an amount not to exceed $17,000.00 for musical entertainment for North Lauderdale Days 2007.
