subject:    North Lauderdale Days 2010

 

The Parks and Recreation Department is working on plans for North Lauderdale Days 2010.  This year’s 47th Anniversary Event is planned for the weekend of Friday, April 30th through Sunday, May 2, 2010.  Although, we are only in the early planning discussion stages right now, we can promise some new activities during 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 both professional and amateur groups, school groups and some community participation including a fireworks show on Saturday evening.  In past years, the event was budgeted at $58,000, however this year (like last year), the event’s budget has been drastically reduced due to budget cuts.  This year’s General Fund Contribution is only $20,565.00 and the 171 Fund will contribute up to $18,000.00. In addition, the N.L. Recreation Foundation will also donate funds. We will be sharing the final plans for North Lauderdale Days 2010 with the Commission by early March.

 

One of the main attractions of the event is the wide variety of music that is offered throughout the weekend.  For more than eight years, the City has used Style Entertainment to provide music and sound equipment during the event.  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 equipment for North Lauderdale Days 2010 for an amount not to exceed $10,000.00. 

 

As in past years, the Department staff will be working with various groups during North Lauderdale Days.  These groups include BSO, City’s Fire/Rescue, Multi-Cultural Committee, local Schools, City’s Parks and Recreation Board and other interested resident groups within the City.

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