And just so you know, I did hear from both Caroline um she court went

4
00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:32.959

5
00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:48.959
the committee members. I'll start uh my right with uh member Paris. Anything? >> Member Canoe? >> No, nothing. >> Member Hoover. >> Yes. I want to say thank you to Kim to do the sponsored name. It was really, really cool.

6
00:02:48.959 --> 00:03:04.239
>> Thank you. >> I'm excited to see it. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Yeah. Secretary Kerry, >> I don't have anything. >> Okay. I don't have anything as well. Um although I do um before we jump into it um I did go through just to double check

7
00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:22.000
on what the level of sponsorship was and so based on what we had print off here um it should be 10,000 5,000 uh 2500500 and five and then the the benefits were uh full table of 10 for the 10,000 u two

8
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:37.120
tickets at the 5,000 level one ticket at 2500 level uh 1,500 obviously gets a table of eight and then as a table sponsor and then um nothing for the 500. So we'll just tweak that.

9
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:54.000
Uh that's all I got. Um and I did uh I did speak with uh Rod for now with Hidden Creek uh today. Um since I was coming to this meeting, I mentioned him, but the sponsorship being done, he's interested in becoming a sponsor as well. So once we'll solify this, we'll get that out to him and then I'll also push it out to some of the other

10
00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:10.239
businesses and actually have S um send it out to the the folks as well. Um that's all I got. So moving on to committee business item number one, mayor's ball preparations. So um obviously we have the sponsorship

11
00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:26.320
packet here. We've got the big apple like that. Lady Liberty like that. Lights and sirens. That's cool, too. uh Broadway business booster which would be 1500. So do we want to incorporate table sponsor in the name or or we want >> I can I can change it to something else.

12
00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:42.720
Yeah, I mean I can make that actually like Times Square table sponsor or something. >> Oh, I like that. That's Yeah. >> Yeah, Time Square table sponsor. Very good. And you want to use the Broadway and the 500 then or? >> I like the yellow. >> I don't know if the yellow cap is like

13
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:59.199
the yellow. Okay. >> So we just mix Broadway. >> Yeah. Yes. Oh, >> Time Square is in on Broadway, right? Yeah, I guess Broadway. >> Close enough. >> And then I did update the wording on the front too as well. I I rewarded the

14
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:15.440
whole front page. >> So, if you want to make any changes to that, too. >> Uh, may sponsorship packets. So, I'll just read through it. Uh the city of Porty proudly invites local businesses, organizations, and community members to partner with us as sponsors

20
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:50.400
that may be in that that I see is veterans included in the second paragraph somewhere. >> Oh, add it. >> Yeah. Evening recognition, appreciation honoring the police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, emergency

21
00:06:50.400 --> 00:07:10.680
management teams, >> veterans and first responders veterans and the first responders. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> And that should cover everything. >> Anybody else comment on that? Sound good?

22
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:38.639
Okay. And then we go sponsorship levels. And so I know we went back and forth on the top level of 10,000 and and I like this. I just I just wonder will we be able to get a $10,000 sponsor or not? Will we will we

23
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:57.199
>> I'm still kind of torn between tough I mean it's possible especially when you're getting a table of 10 >> what was >> no we for the so for the there's four tables of 10 possible and for the

24
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:14.080
presenting sponsor we were going to do 10 table time for that just because it's so much that being said um and See, here's the thing, too. Because we have

25
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:32.080
the 1500 table sponsor, you get table eight >> and 600 more of your sponsor. >> And so, what's really the drive to >> to spend the 10 >> and get a free table? >> Yes. There isn't.

26
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:49.760
The only the only drive is the promotional materials and >> right >> that's it. I mean there's real >> can't be but you know you're still getting the table so you be spending nine nine grand extra >> uh >> last year um what was the highest

27
00:08:49.760 --> 00:09:07.000
sponsor that we had >> do I remember >> for the centennial I think it was 20 or >> we didn't we didn't have any we didn't do any sponsorship specific for the mayor's centennial in one pool for the centennial yeah >> so we and we had a

28
00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:24.000
Uh what was the high was the highest level >> 25 >> 25,000 for the centennial? >> I'm looking right now. >> I think we had it >> 25 and 110. >> I know Burks was 10 and I forget who the

29
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:43.040
25 was. >> So we might get someone here again. >> Yeah. I mean it's if we could get one at that level would be great and I we that's possible. I just

30
00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:59.600
the table sponsor 1500 becomes a >> you really got to make sure the benefits justify the extra nine grand. >> Should we switch the two then? Maybe make the 2500 the table sponsor with the lights and siren, like switch

31
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:20.480
them up. >> So maybe no tickets. >> No. >> What? Um >> or are you just thinking maybe we should just not make that 10,000 and make it five as the the top one? >> The five.

32
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:37.200
trying to find what we did for >> I don't know I don't really know what to do about it's the whole table sponsor thing throws a little bit of a wrench in that from my perspective >> I I mean I don't know why we would why we need a table sponsor just sponsor be

33
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:54.399
a sponsor and that's it I mean I don't know why we need a table sponsor >> because you were you had even said the last meeting that we were going to give a discount if anybody bought an entire table so why are we going to have. Why are we going to have both? That's kind of pointless to have two different.

34
00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:11.360
>> Yeah, I I agree. I think because if you have the table sponsor, you're I mean, you look at two ways. A table sponsor for 1500 or whatever that price is, that's probably where your your most um uh your most sponsorships are going to

35
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:26.560
be focused on because they're buying they're getting they're getting eight tickets to the event. Um, and you've really spread that out costwise and you got your your sponsorship in there. Um, but it really takes away from somebody

36
00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:44.079
giving that high level sponsorship cuz why would they do that when they go ahead and just pay 1,500 to get a table and that's kind of like the big thing. They're getting a well 10 topper as opposed to eight. But what do y'all think?

37
00:11:44.079 --> 00:12:08.480
remove the table sponsor and >> yes and then just give them a discount if they buy a table on the ticket price >> and maybe we could uh sprinkle some tickets maybe in there a little bit more >> yeah let's you guys agree with kill the

38
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:23.440
table sponsor >> yes >> what do you think >> I don't know I think that's going to be your most popular thing >> and that's exactly >> how are you going to um tell people about buying a whole table and saving a discount? I mean, >> well, when they go, so in the in the

39
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:39.680
ticketing, when we set it up, tickets be 125, >> table of eight will be 900. So, it's 10% off if you buy eight tickets. Basically, >> put it on the flyer for the centennial. I was trying to find it. >> You said buy a table and save. >> Yeah, >> something like that. I was trying to

40
00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:57.920
find what we had. >> Um, but in the sponsorships, you're just in your sponsorship, you're getting some tickets. And I think you if you if you're gonna pony up the 10 grand, you're going to get a whole table. And and the problem is with a table sponsor, you're getting a whole table for another 600 bucks, not

41
00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:13.279
another 9,000. Um, and so I think we we we uh by doing it that way, it would be the most popular, which would prevent people from actually sponsoring. They'd all be

42
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:30.959
table sponsors, which is not necessarily a bad thing. If you get I mean, we're going to have like 50 some tables. If you have 50 table sponsors, you're going to do well. But >> um I think ideally you want to you want to sell the tickets, you want to sell the tables, and the sponsors is is above and

43
00:13:30.959 --> 00:13:53.839
beyond that. And again, the more you sponsor, you're going to get some stuff ticket wise included. Again, we could look at having table sponsor but do it at a higher level. >> So for the centennial we had obviously

44
00:13:53.839 --> 00:14:21.040
the tickets were a little bit less but it says purchase a table. >> They were 100, right? >> Yes. And it says purchase a table and then we had eight tickets and save $50. So >> 750 for a table was 800. Yeah. Yes. If we were to

45
00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:54.480
um if we take out table sponsor just to walk through this see how it might look 10,000 you get a free table 10 5,000 You get table eight. >> I saw the flyer for Chesco Fiesta. You

46
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:10.320
know this year they have a bowl for the blind. >> They do theirs. 10 10 four three two a thousand a thou the thousand was the lowest. >> What'd you get at the top? >> Uh eight event tickets, one reserve

47
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:27.440
table, program center fold, logo on event photos, proing name and logo on promotional materials and social media annual plaque at the NPR LVIB. I don't know what that is. So their

48
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:44.079
second tier was four grand. >> Four grand. And that's eight tickets. Again, one reserve table, a full page ad logo, special signage. >> So both of those levels got >> you don't get the only difference is you don't get a plaque with the 4,000 and you get a plaque with the 10.

49
00:15:44.079 --> 00:16:05.759
>> That's right. >> Oh, and it doesn't nothing on social media either on the 4,000. >> So their highest was how much? >> 10,000. And >> so if we so a table is 900 if you buy a whole table.

50
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:21.120
>> Let's just call it a,000 without the discount. So at the 5,000 level if you give a table of eight with that you're getting 4,000 on top for sponsorship which in a sense would be your table sponsor but the presenter actually gets

51
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:36.160
bigger media. they get a 10 table and maybe that's the way to go. Take out the 1,500 table sponsor. Basically, a table sponsor then becomes 5,000. Um, which would be great if that was the most popular at that point because you're pulling in five grand for the

52
00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:52.639
table. Um, I like that a lot. And then you don't have that low ball table. So, let's say 10,000 you get a 10 topper. >> Mhm. We're probably going to get one if we're

53
00:16:52.639 --> 00:17:07.839
lucky on that anyway. Um >> Yeah, >> and maybe we limit that to one. >> Yeah, >> because we limited it. >> We did limit it when we got the 10 from or 20 or whatever it was. It was 25 from Ocean. >> Yeah. So, let's

54
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:24.959
>> So, and I think I think that probably motivates people to do that too because they're the only one at that level. >> So, the big apple 10,000 you get a 10 top table and only one can be there. And then you could be as many as you want at the $5,000 level. You get a

55
00:17:24.959 --> 00:17:57.679
table late eight >> and then the 2500, two tickets. Let's see. So eight. You could do you could do four tickets. >> Four tickets on the 25. Yeah. >> Yeah. Four tickets on 25. Two tickets on the

56
00:17:57.679 --> 00:18:14.320
>> the 1500. >> Well, maybe we just we make that 1250. >> Okay. >> We just keep halfing it. >> Okay. >> Time Square. Are we back? >> Time Well, see at Times Square not table sponsor now. You can leave a Broadway

57
00:18:14.320 --> 00:18:32.960
business booster. >> Yeah. So, yeah. Two tickets. 1250 >> and then the yellow cab is just that's it. >> Yeah. Look at 500 500. You don't get anything. >> You just sponsor, right? >> And then how many of those unlimited?

58
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:53.919
>> Yeah. All the rest of So basically limit one for the top >> big apple and as many as you want. Well, >> yeah. Many as you want on the other ones obviously within capacity because if you sell out, you sell out. Yeah, that I think that that makes more

59
00:18:53.919 --> 00:19:09.679
sense and it doesn't uh it doesn't push people into one bucket or not. So, so the names the big apple, do you want to call that

60
00:19:09.679 --> 00:19:31.760
a table sponsor? I mean, I don't think we have to specify it, do we? What else do we >> I mean, you're getting a table. >> Yeah. >> So, I'm just since it's

61
00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:48.440
I mean, you don't have to call it that. They know they're getting a table. >> I mean, I can make it the I can make the 5,000 the Times Square table sponsor and then just switch them around. I mean, you think that adds or does it matter?

62
00:19:50.720 --> 00:20:06.799
>> Yeah. I'm just wondering if that >> look if if you have table sponsor in the name it, you know, it's you, you know, you're getting a table with that. It's >> that's on that's my thought, but I don't think it matters either. They they should be reading the benefits when they're spend money anyway. So,

63
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:34.640
>> I don't think like Time Square table sponsor. >> Well, yeah. I mean, I can I can shift them. I can put that as a 5,000, drop Lady Liberty down, and then Lights and Sirens down. >> What do y'all think?

64
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:52.880
>> Table sponsor name or not? I'm I'm I'm fine with either way. >> I'm fine with either way, too. >> I mean, you think I I don't know. In in some ways, I think it's maybe better to have it in there. And >> yeah, fine.

65
00:20:52.880 --> 00:21:17.120
>> Let's just see how it rolls out. So, Time Square table sponsor five grand. All right. So six tickets is table eight inclusion and promotional marketing materials to include social media recognition on the city website

66
00:21:17.120 --> 00:21:34.039
announcement of sponsorship recognition at the event. Okay. And then the big apple 10 that's 10 topper and I would instead of 10 tickets I would say table of 10 so they know that they're all together. >> Okay.

67
00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:52.080
Then you want the eight. Table of eight. >> Table of eight. Yeah. Um includes marketing recognition through logo on printed materials opportunity to welcome attendees to the event. Okay.

68
00:21:52.080 --> 00:22:11.760
Yeah, that all sounds good. And and actually um on the time square table sponsor, we we can put the centerpiece in there. or whatever. >> Their their business name on the >> business. Yeah. Uh your table named or

69
00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:34.320
whatever how you want to put that in there. >> And I'll say add that to the uh big apple too. >> Okay. And then you want to do Lady Liberty for 2500. >> Sure.

70
00:22:34.320 --> 00:23:05.600
Liberty. >> Then lights and sirens at a 1250. >> And then you want to keep the yellow cab or make a Broadway business? >> No. Yellow cap's cute. >> No. >> Broadway business. Broadway business is cute, too. That's why I yellow cab. So you'll pick whichever one you want.

71
00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:21.840
Yellow cap. >> Yellow cap. >> All right. So Broadway's out. >> So lights and science. So okay. Late liberty. You get four tickets. Announcement sponsorship recognition event and recognition on city social media. Okay. And then the lights and

72
00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:40.159
sirens or do you want you want kill lights and leave Broadway? >> I mean we could do that. I could. Which one do you like better? They're all so good. I hate to lose any of them. >> I know. I It's >> Well, I tell you what we what we could

73
00:23:40.159 --> 00:23:56.400
do is um you could always do a 500 and 250. >> We could do a 250. >> Yeah. >> And then we don't lose anybody.

74
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:12.559
>> Yeah, that's fine. I like that. for the 5250 levels. It's uh you're just getting some recognition. No tickets. >> Yeah. >> Let's do that. >> Yeah, that's good. >> I like solving problems where everybody's happy. All right. Lights and

75
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:28.559
sirens 1250. And so then we're going to do the Broadway business booster at 500. >> Mhm. And then the yellow cab 250. >> Perfect. You'all like that? Yes. Yep. Yep. >> More options. Oh, we better have more options.

76
00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:45.440
probably business booster. >> People People see that 250 and they're like more inclined to write a check for that. >> Exactly. >> Okay. I'm sponsor 250. Okay. So, so Broadway business

77
00:24:45.440 --> 00:25:02.440
booster recognition of social media website and national sponsor reg sponsor. Same thing, right? Now, do we want to call out

78
00:25:03.600 --> 00:25:20.000
for this program? >> Oh, did S get one for us to look at? >> Uh, he he he did get one. I talked to him on a phone. It was just a >> sheet folded. So, >> but it was four pages, right? It was four or five pages. >> Four sides. Okay.

79
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:39.520
>> Two pages. >> Front, back, front, back. >> Yeah. >> So, four sides. So, and and that's what I remember, too. So there's no stapling or anything in it. So I I mean for these for the like the especially the Broadway business booster at 500, I

80
00:25:39.520 --> 00:26:00.400
think you get a business card size um ad included in that. Um, let's think about slides. Obviously, the big apple, they get a full

81
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:29.120
>> full page. And maybe we just go and then the table sponsors Time Square. >> Maybe you do uh 25% do four on a page. Page

82
00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:49.200
four. So per page is 25%. And then on the lines of sirens you could do um >> I mean can we just have them give their logo? Do we have to like give them a side a page size for it?

83
00:26:49.200 --> 00:27:05.919
>> Well you could I mean >> because I mean >> it's advertised. So if they want to say they could they could build their ad however they want it or we just put their logo on it with name. I mean it's really kind of up to the business. I think that point >> I'm just thinking because like sometimes we have to finagle some stuff based on

84
00:27:05.919 --> 00:27:21.600
like the size of their logo. So like if we say oh we're going to give you a business card ad but then their whole logo is the size of a business card. It doesn't really leave much room for anything else and then we have to like shift everything else around. >> I think you basically what you do is you

85
00:27:21.600 --> 00:27:37.760
give them the >> you get the size. It's a, you know, 4 by 4 inch x 4 inch spot. So, whatever. So, you you basically, if your booklet's going to be and you know, do you >> do we do what size >> do we do a booklet as a full 8 and 1

86
00:27:37.760 --> 00:27:53.520
half by 11 or we do >> Yeah, it was when we did the last one, it was not full pages. It was a little guy, >> right? >> I'm trying to find it. >> That's a good size, too. So, um,

87
00:27:53.520 --> 00:28:11.200
so whatever. So I'm thinking so it isn't incredibly large pamp booklet you know so if you use half page like that um the percenting sponsor gets a whole page

88
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:28.240
time square table sponsor I think you do four per page >> which would be whatever the specs of that >> and actually you could you probably doing one two remember the bleed over too. So we can't like put it the whole

89
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:43.760
they have to they have to give room for like a bleed over. So we can't be we got to figure out consideration. >> Yeah. You just >> figure out what your blocks are. >> But I think I think table sponsor is 25% of a page >> and then

90
00:28:43.760 --> 00:29:05.000
the lights and siren sponsor at that level you do eight page. So basically you you do then you get two two two what's that 12 and a half% for ad right? Yeah. Eight per page.

91
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:25.360
>> Oh yeah because when we did Centennial we only listed out the sponsors. We didn't give >> but we want to encourage people to >> throw some money at it too. Y >> uh so that's 12 and a half%. And then when we move to the license

92
00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:49.399
sign, so the the the Broadway and the the yellow cab, I think those just get listed under those two categories. >> There's no space to them. >> Yeah. >> Um >> so lights would probably be the ones. So if we get eight per page and then we do um

93
00:29:54.399 --> 00:30:13.919
we do three cross three six do 12 per page. So basically the time square one you have the blocks go

94
00:30:13.919 --> 00:30:32.320
one two three four okay on a page and then um then lady liberty of a page goes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and then the license sirens it's basically 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

95
00:30:32.320 --> 00:30:47.520
and then the Broadway business booster You could uh you just list that in a in a certain size font and then yellow cab sponsor right below it. A little bit smaller font. It's just basically just a

96
00:30:47.520 --> 00:31:08.159
line at that point. Make sense? >> Their name. Yeah. >> Yeah. Basically just their name. Um I'm trying to think on that. So 12, one, two, three. Yeah, that'll be decent size. Yeah. And that should keep the

97
00:31:08.159 --> 00:31:30.240
program relatively small, too, I think. And maybe for the Broadway business booster, you get your name and logo and the yellow cab, you just get your name.

98
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:55.919
Yeah, that makes it a little font size. Get your little logo with your name and then you get just the name. Yeah, I like that. What do you think? Good. I don't want to be running the show over here. I just

99
00:31:55.919 --> 00:32:11.600
I'm just thinking out loud. You guys, >> I agree. Yeah, that sounds good. >> Okay, so that'll solidify that. That'll solidify the benefits. Um, solidify the program. So, we should be all good. Now, just a matter of

100
00:32:11.600 --> 00:32:27.440
get people to sign up. How soon can we have these changes? >> This I can update pretty quick. I just have to get the flyer done. I just haven't had a chance. >> Um, and the rest of the stuff is all boilerplate. It's the same as from before the and it has the change in

101
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:52.480
there with the 30-day logo cut off. >> Okay. >> So, this is this is the actually the most updated one that we have >> um as far as like the the whole harmless and all the other wording to it. One question

102
00:32:52.480 --> 00:33:09.039
um about the proceeds. Do we want to do we want to hold back a certain percentage of proceeds for the event committee and the rest goes to Tunnel Towers or all the Tunnel Towers? >> I think I would like to keep some

103
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:27.039
because we need some money for the events. I mean, do we say like 80% of the proceeds go to I I mean, I'm just throwing that out there. 80% goes to Tunnel of Towers and the 20% goes to the committee

104
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:46.000
>> Well, I just I would say committee. I would say >> for which you >> Yes. >> And then Yeah. What? 7525 8020 somewhere there >> 20 I think >> 8020 right >> I like that

105
00:33:46.000 --> 00:34:01.600
>> so 80 >> so 80% of 80% of what's left over obviously what so all the sponsorship is going to go in to defra the cost of the event whatever's left over 80% goes to the charity 20% stays in the events

106
00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:23.359
committee or >> so do I need to that front page so do I need to make that where it says proceeds from the event will benefit. >> Yeah. Um >> or can we say um

107
00:34:23.359 --> 00:34:44.320
donation support? >> Yeah. Because proceeds it almost means like everything but I don't know like everything proceeds from the event will benefit. >> I mean I could put a portion of the proceeds.

108
00:34:44.320 --> 00:35:00.760
>> Yeah. >> We'll go to Tunnel Towers that's not specific. So if anybody asked we can tell them it's 80%. >> Yeah. Well, I'd rather I'd rather call out that most of us go in tunnel towers towers, right? >> Um

109
00:35:01.680 --> 00:35:18.920
and and proceeds by definition means extra. >> There's going to be costs with the event, music, and all that. That's that stuff's going to defay. So, whatever's left over, the proceeds. Um >> Yeah, you're right.

110
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:45.680
Maybe just you just call that 80% of the proceeds benefit Tunnel Towers, 20% benefit city port Events and you can maybe add a blur in there about what City for Events does. Obviously it uh

111
00:35:45.680 --> 00:36:04.720
>> you know >> puts together community events Free community. >> Free community. That's right. >> Okay. I'll up.

112
00:36:04.720 --> 00:36:30.880
>> Does that I don't think that detracts. You say 80% is quite a bit. >> Yeah. And like I said, 20 20% hold back for the to continue to do other events and whatever. I think that's noble. So if we had 10,000 in proceeds

113
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:52.960
events would get 2,000 total towers get eight. >> Right. >> Okay. I like that. Anything else on sponsorship? Obviously, they have a the front of it would be the whatever the

114
00:36:52.960 --> 00:37:28.640
flyer is, right? Is that how that goes? Yeah. Does that get the flyer get included in the >> Yeah, that if you look on the back I had >> Oh, that's Yeah. Place >> Okay, perfect. So flyerwise,

115
00:37:28.640 --> 00:37:44.560
you're going to use the same kind of lay mayor's ball just kind of tweak that, right? >> Probably. Yeah. Make it a little bit nicer. >> Yeah. How how long you think? >> I don't know. I I'll try and get to it this week. It's just been Last week was really busy at work.

116
00:37:44.560 --> 00:38:00.160
If I can help with anything, let me know. I mean, if you give me that, I can help. >> So, once we have the flyer, um, are we going to create like an event or >> Yeah. Once once we once we have the flyer, obviously first thing we're pushing this out via email. I'll start

117
00:38:00.160 --> 00:38:16.480
making calls you guys if you guys gain business contacts or whatever. Um obly push out to them and I and hopefully same as soon as we get the flyer we create the event. Uh I know working on I don't think I told you guys

118
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:32.079
this but uh so Zephy is a is a platform for nonprofits. Sound said you guys played with it or whatever. He's checking in to see this. The city has to have some kind of nonprofit status with IRS. So, we have to have some They're

119
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:48.320
all 501 uh text 501's or what it is, but we should be at 501 something, I would think, but >> I don't know what it is, >> but there is a but I they specifically mentioned in their municipalities and stuff, so there's some way to sign that.

120
00:38:48.320 --> 00:39:03.920
So, anyway, Exactly is a is a nonprofit platform. What's nice and it has a ticketing module built into it. You can take donations to it, but you can also create ticketed events. And so the nice thing about it is is when the person goes out

121
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:22.640
and and charges for their tickets, um they have the option to donate to that platform. If they choose not to donate to the platform, 100% comes to the city. So there's no there's no overhead. So if you charge $100, you get charged $100.

122
00:39:22.640 --> 00:39:39.440
The city gets $100 and the only way that they make money for the platform is is at the very end that transaction um >> it's like a 15 15%. >> Yeah. They put in by default 15%. >> So you can make it zero, >> but you could change it to zero. So if you go through it at 100, so 100, say

123
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:55.200
you're going to $100 ticket, it's $100 at the end. It's going to charge you $115, which is $100 for the the nonprofit and 15% of that, but you can change that to zero. It only charge you 100 and they get nothing. We get the full amount. So,

124
00:39:55.200 --> 00:40:11.839
it's a it's a and it's >> you still get the full amount though. That that that 15% goes to them for >> So, we would actually get full price of this. >> You would still get the $100. They would get $15. Yeah. >> If you left it, but if you change it to zero, they get nothing. And they just broke the transaction. I think we should

125
00:40:11.839 --> 00:40:27.760
change it to zero and then if they want to change and you have to do it by transaction they defaulted to 15. So if you go through >> but it says in there what do you want to make this >> right and it it gives you the option to change it when you check out. Yeah because I actually just set it up

126
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:44.320
>> for my >> for my girls. Yeah. >> Yeah. It takes about a week I think for it to did yours have it immediately? No, it's it's Well, I have an event created, but it's not linked to anything yet. They have to like verify.

127
00:40:44.320 --> 00:41:01.599
>> I think takes a few days to get verified or whatever. I used it for my campaign and uh other places have used it as well. >> Um >> Troy uses it for his nonprofit. >> Yeah, it's really a great platform. And like I said, the um uh the only bad part about it is is you got two two times

128
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:18.079
when they actually move the money to your account. >> Yeah. um every Monday or once a month. That's your choices. So when I did mine, I did every Monday. So every Monday it moves whatever you got in there. >> But it saves on the three and a half% because >> people don't have to pay that.

129
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:34.319
>> And that and that was the problem like with when we did the centennial because it was if people were paying with a card, it was taking three and a half%. So we weren't actually getting a full ticket price, >> right? >> We were getting three and a half% less of the ticket price. >> Well, actually no, I think it it was charging out on top. So, we were getting

130
00:41:34.319 --> 00:41:49.520
a full amount, but they were getting charged extra three if I remember. Oh, >> yeah. They they put it on at the end, I think. >> But anyway, they were getting charged that extra >> regardless there was somebody was taking taking that money. Yeah. >> So, this way they only they only get charged extra if they want to

131
00:41:49.520 --> 00:42:05.440
>> support that platform. >> So, um >> cash is king. >> Yeah. And we also still >> we're not supposed to take cash with the city though. But yeah, ideally if they came to utilities and paid cash for it, they would the same like we did with Centennial. >> Yeah, we have that option to bring it

132
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:20.000
in. >> Yeah. >> But we'd ask encourage them to do it online. >> Yes. >> So let's say if I have let's say >> and actually I think you I I think I one second. I think you'd almost have to do it that way because that's actually

133
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:36.400
creating the ticket register too. >> Yes, we have to have our transaction record. I'd have to look to see once I set that up if somebody paid outside of that if you could create a take within there. But we check in on that. Go ahead. >> No, I was just wondering if I have a couple that wants to give me the cash,

134
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:51.599
can I come for them or I have to tell No, you have to go and >> I would I would I would prefer them go and sign up online because that it keeps a very nice register of everybody's name and you collect address, whatever on there. So, um, and that takes staff out

135
00:42:51.599 --> 00:43:08.480
of having to deal with any of that. It's all >> So, better if they can do it. >> Okay. >> But if they absolutely can't do that, obviously we'll find a way and and it's it would probably be you take their their information that you need to put in with the cash and then

136
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:23.839
you probably go on there and there might be a way to say that paid via cash or something. Again, once I get on that part of it, I'll we'll figure it out. Okay. But ideally, we want one place where it's keeping track of everybody's tickets so we know who has them,

137
00:43:23.839 --> 00:43:41.040
whatever. >> Um, do you remember the price to for those mayor's ball tickets we had? >> I just >> They weren't very expensive, were they? >> No. And I just actually bought tickets

138
00:43:41.040 --> 00:43:58.240
from discount printing and it was $100 for 200 tickets, but they were >> I I have I have the receipt. I have a copy of the receipt from the from the centennials because we did two-sided. The ones that I just did, actually the

139
00:43:58.240 --> 00:44:14.079
ones I just did were 65 and they were only one-sided, so it's probably like 125 or 200. >> Okay. And I think we probably want to have tickets. Yeah, absolutely. >> Scrapbook. >> I mean, I don't know if we need the two-sided. Well, we had the two-sided the last

140
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:30.359
time, so I mean, I just I'm just going to change the wording on it. >> Yeah. >> What's the capacity? How many? >> Well, four. >> Like 425. I mean, ideally 400 would be comfortable. >> Okay. But

141
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:51.119
>> we've also had where there was ticket sponsor so that they get their name on the ticket on the back of the tickets. >> Oh yeah. You know, >> so someone could pay for the tickets and get and have them recognized on the ticket. >> I think we probably incorporate that

142
00:44:51.119 --> 00:45:06.720
into the presenting sponsor >> into the big apple. You could. Yeah. >> Yeah. Just think >> I think so. >> They're actually on the ticket as well. >> Okay. >> That' be like >> Yeah, I mean for their $10,000. >> Yeah. Something else they get. Yeah. So,

143
00:45:06.720 --> 00:45:22.160
yeah. So, their their logo on the and presenting sponsor on the on the ticket on the back of it. I was trying to look. >> And that way they have the present sponsor on there. We'd have the obviously tunnel towers

144
00:45:22.160 --> 00:45:46.800
stuff on there. And all tickets would be will called. >> Yes. >> So they they'd have a receipt and all that. And then when they show up, that's when they have their spot reserved and they get their tickets. So they don't

145
00:45:46.800 --> 00:46:28.560
have to mail anything out. >> Yeah. And actually we we set that up. We can put commemorative ticket and program with your ticket price. Then we um I'd love to do

146
00:46:28.560 --> 00:46:48.480
a coin again >> with what? With the new logo on it. >> Well, >> or what? >> If I'd like to do one that's special every year, right? Because we had a centennial

147
00:46:48.480 --> 00:47:03.520
one, >> right? And so, um, you know, obviously as we change, I'd like I'd like to be have that part of the the coin, too. So, on one side of the coin, it would be, let's say, Tunnel

148
00:47:03.520 --> 00:47:18.079
to Towers, first responders related, and the other side it would be, you know, either our logo. >> Yeah. Our logo for sure. >> The new logo. >> Yeah. I think the the D city logo on the

149
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:38.079
one side and then the who it's for I'd probably put mayor's ball first responders we have and then tunnel Towers on there who the Pacific has just some way to commemorate that particular event and then next year be another coin with whatever what do you guys think

150
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:56.160
about that and those coins were I think it was like $500 And we got >> something like that. I think it was something >> for how many? >> I want to say they they were about three some dollars a piece to make or something like that. >> It was like 378 or something like this. It was a weird number.

151
00:47:56.160 --> 00:48:11.359
>> And there's a die charge and things in there. Uh if you could pull up that receipt. >> S has that receipt >> for next meeting or whatever. We >> should have that in the corner. Mayor's 2026. >> Yeah, that's something May 26. going to

152
00:48:11.359 --> 00:48:28.240
have the um tunnel towers and talking about first respond responders. >> Did we sell those last year? >> We did. >> Well, we we gave them out to the guest. >> You had it came with your ticket.

153
00:48:28.240 --> 00:48:44.680
>> It was like a little gift for each take each person got. >> We did sell them at the at some of the events. >> Yeah. >> Do you remember how much? >> $10. >> Okay. >> Nice. So you can buy a coin, come over the coin without going,

154
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:58.000
but I think we we basically get enough to cover everybody at the event plus a little extra. And then um we just had a lot left over last time because we only had 100 120 some people at the event. So

155
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:17.839
I think we 400 or 500. I can't remember. >> I think it was 500, but I have to check. I know I'm still giving them out to people as I've come in contact with and we gave them out. We had the thing here to we sold several too.

156
00:49:17.839 --> 00:49:36.480
>> So the front we had mayor's ball with the date and then the back we had the address, the terms and conditions. Okay. >> Tickets. >> So you're saying we could put the their

157
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:51.359
logo or their name. >> I would put the percent sponsor logo on there. >> Okay. >> And see this this becomes a challenge too because in order to print that stuff, we got to have that presenting sponsor. >> Um which

158
00:49:51.359 --> 00:50:07.680
what was the turnaround on printing that stuff? >> On the tickets, it's usually like four days. On the program, it took her a little bit longer because they had to >> So, we need to make sure we get a presenting sponsor quick. quick >> because

159
00:50:07.680 --> 00:50:24.480
probably by the 1st of September, we need to order our material. >> Mhm. >> That give us >> Yeah. >> almost two weeks. >> Yeah. >> So, you really you really want to have that stuff going to print end of August,

160
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:54.240
which has I think we we would have that sponsored by then. Okay, I think that covers all that. As far as the decorations and stuff, obviously we need to figure that out. We talked a little bit about that last time. It's a

161
00:50:54.240 --> 00:51:16.079
matter of going to that uh where and then getting our estimates of course making sure that get that date locked in with somebody. How do you all want to deal with that? >> Can't all go together. So

162
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:35.680
well can just can't talk about it. >> That's true. Um, >> I mean we I know that she has basically everything. So, it's just a matter of seeing what she has and then having the

163
00:51:35.680 --> 00:51:57.319
quote and then getting two other quotes. >> How many quotes are we getting? >> We need three. >> We need three. Do we have a budget for the decorations? Um, so

164
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:17.520
we don't have any as far as until we know what sponsorship comes in or whatever. I mean, we we kind of know what roughly what the the food price is, how much tickets are. So all it's all it's all a factor of how many things sell,

165
00:52:17.520 --> 00:52:34.720
how many sponsors there are, right? Um we have we have budget going in to to cover that and the idea would to be and we probably need to try to do some rough math on what we would potentially bring in.

166
00:52:34.720 --> 00:52:58.280
Um why don't we do that real quick? So it's based on 400 and the food price >> about 60 65 a person roughly >> 400 times 65.

167
00:52:58.400 --> 00:53:18.920
So that's 26,000. Let's say 400 times 125 is 50,000. 50,000US 26,000. This is assuming no sponsors. That's a $24,000

168
00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:36.319
proceed, right? You got your music in there, your printing materials and all that. So if we just sold tickets, I would imagine

169
00:53:36.319 --> 00:53:53.680
that 24 if we took 14,000 out. I think the You remember what the cost was on the decorations? It was like >> 13 or something. >> Was it over 10? >> Yeah, I think it was 13. >> Hold on. Hold on. >> I think it was 6,000.

170
00:53:53.680 --> 00:54:20.800
>> Hold on. I think I got it. Is that what they came already? >> It was six. >> Six. >> Yeah. 5,900. >> So if we What was the music? >> Uh DJ,

171
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:37.359
>> it was for DJ light up lighting and the photo booth. And I want to say that was 1,200 maybe. I'd have to I'd have to go back and look. >> So if we was at 400 tickets, if we were just sell tickets, had no sponsors and

172
00:54:37.359 --> 00:54:52.480
all that, no not including discounts or whatever. So that's kind of that that 10% discount in there for tables or whatever that people buy. Um I'm basically washing that with a little bit of sponsor money. So,

173
00:54:52.480 --> 00:55:10.160
we cleared 24 grand. 10 should cover the decorations and the DJ, which leaves us 14. Um, obviously, we're going to have some free tickets in there for

174
00:55:10.160 --> 00:55:27.359
committee and and whatnot. >> Dignitaries or >> Yeah. So, I'm thinking with no sponsors at all, if we were to sell the event, we're probably good for about 10 in proceeds for charity and event

175
00:55:27.359 --> 00:55:44.319
committee and it could be very much more depending on how the sponsors come out is a rough order of magnitude. So, but that being said, we do have about 10 grand

176
00:55:44.319 --> 00:56:01.359
in our balance. Now, I don't remember how much we spent. We haven't updated from the boom on the bayou, but um I don't think we spent much more than 2500. Do you know? Hey, S. Perfect timing. Do you uh do you know what our

177
00:56:01.359 --> 00:56:17.359
current accounting balance is for the event committee? >> No, off the top of my head. >> What What was it before? Did we was we at 11 or >> We were between 11 and 10 at the time. Um there was only a couple of expenses that had to come out of it. So I think I mean

178
00:56:17.359 --> 00:56:32.000
ballpark I'd say around nine between 9 and 10. >> Yeah. So >> I have to make sure but >> we had 2500 come in. I know we had like a portaotties and >> Yeah. >> and 700 in the DJ. So we I think we

179
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:49.359
probably our sponsor 2500 probably covered most of our expenses. So we should still be around 10 or less 10. We should be >> Yeah, let's just say 10. A little bit less, a little bit more. We should be around 10. >> I'll get a I'll get a updated sheet to it. >> Yeah, we figure out what we we're at.

180
00:56:49.359 --> 00:57:04.880
Um, yeah, here's what you guys get some. Okay, so this is what our program was before. Oh. Um,

181
00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:21.920
we were Have you talked um about coins? new coins for the city. Have you looked into that at all? >> We haven't looked into it. We haven't pulled we haven't purchased them yet. >> We're thinking about doing a coin for the mayor's ball. >> Okay.

182
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:36.559
>> Every year and and one side would be the city logo, the other side would be mayor's ball and then you know tunnel towers this time and first responders on the back. something we've come up with and then next year be something whatever the backside would be basically for

183
00:57:36.559 --> 00:57:54.240
whatever that is supporting >> um you remember we got you 500% >> I think we did 500 but I don't think you should do that many this time around it all depends on how many people you're expecting >> well we got 425 roughly so

184
00:57:54.240 --> 00:58:10.960
>> that for the invite list >> well that's the seat that's what >> potential if we sell out there's like a seat 425 people. And so we figure probably 500 would be the right number and then whatever's left over we could sell.

185
00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:27.280
>> Let me see how much. I mean, let me get prices on them. I because obviously the prices changed from the last time we did it. Do you remember >> it was it was a large expense because it was one of our larger expenses because of how many ordered. So I hate to order that many just like the Centennial having a lot. Did we spend $500 or

186
00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:44.319
whatever? >> This morning, eh? >> Yeah. >> Was it$,500? >> Yeah. Take a look. >> Huh? >> Was it 1500 maybe? I don't remember. >> I mean, you got you got that die fee that you you got to pay on top of that. I want to say they were about three some dollars a piece or something,

187
00:58:44.319 --> 00:59:00.880
>> right? So, >> I was $1,500. I say >> you do three and a half 350 a piece times 500, you're already at 15. Unless we get a smaller package of let's say 250 and not give a coin on every ticket and just sell them at the place for $10

188
00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:17.079
at the event. >> Well, it's nice to when you buy a ticket for $125. Yeah. >> So, that's kind of what we thought. I don't know why $500 is sticking in my mind, but >> give me >> Yeah, let's see what that was.

189
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:33.680
>> Maybe we can get a different quote and see if there's any >> Okay, there. I mean, they're not cheap. >> Yeah. >> And they're, you know, I hate to go to event and get some stupid thing. You know, these coins that you keep them forever and that's >> Yeah, >> they're nice.

190
00:59:33.680 --> 00:59:52.720
>> We can't do another bottle. >> Never say never, right? >> We We did a rum. We could always do a vodka or something. No, there's all those rum was so good. You try. >> No, my bottle's in my cabinet. >> Oh,

191
00:59:52.720 --> 01:00:10.480
>> yeah. It is really good. >> Yeah, surprisingly. So, yeah. >> Um, yeah, you six months to get something like that out. It's a lot of hoops to go through. >> Well, yeah. How many times did they make

192
01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:26.559
us change the label because of the >> but you know that that one that's you you could um because that's already approved. It's really just a matter of removing the limited, >> right? >> And it's just the same thing, >> right?

193
01:00:26.559 --> 01:00:45.040
>> That's easy to do that. >> But uh yeah, surely we didn't spend $1,500 on points. thing >> we might have because I think the intention was to sell them too when we were selling the t-shirts.

194
01:00:45.040 --> 01:01:07.680
>> Yeah, because let's say 375 * 500 that's 1875. There's like a lot of numbers in my head right now from >> have a spreadsheet but I didn't bring it with >> but even if it was 1,500 I think we're still like I said if you're just looking at these numbers

195
01:01:07.680 --> 01:01:23.200
we're we're about 24 grand like I say you take 10 for the DJ and the decorations you have 14 you know 1 1500 out there for the party favors or whatever. Any else you want to do some sponsorship

196
01:01:23.200 --> 01:01:39.119
plaques? Probably a couple hundred dollars. I mean, >> that that one was only the plaque for the for the presenting what Amanda pulled up. They didn't get plaques for any other level. >> Oh, Chesco. >> Yeah. It was just presenting got a

197
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:55.200
plaque. >> Yeah. >> How much? >> 1847. >> Oh, almost two grand. >> Holy >> Damn. Um, yeah, there's the breakdown of everything >> and everything was 500. >> The coins were 325 a piece. >> 325 a piece.

198
01:01:55.200 --> 01:02:13.599
>> Then you had the die charge, the silk screening things. >> Um, it came down to 1847. >> That's what I was saying. I knew it was one of our larger expenses. I mean, not as compared to this like, you know, some of the other stuff that we had to do. But

199
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:41.280
>> yeah, what was >> being something on the side like that? I mean, it's not What was the turnaround on this? >> Um, time of order maybe 45 days. So, we'll cut it close if

200
01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:57.520
I have to move forward on this because I'm sorry. What's the date? Well, it said the date on here says 44 and then it says due date 424. So, I'm assuming it's at least 30 days, but the terms are net 20. So, >> maybe it had to be paid before they

201
01:02:57.520 --> 01:03:17.440
shipped. >> Do we have any language or any type of design that I could use for the back end? I mean, the quicker I have that I can at least find out. >> Well, I think the silk screen is the way to go because it's I mean

202
01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:32.880
obviously for them to create a thing like like our logo. There's a lot to that. >> Well, they already have our logo in place. So, >> well, not the new logo though. >> That's what I'm saying. So, we want to incorporate the new brand and then on the back end have like

203
01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:48.559
911 26 Mayor's Ball and >> Well, and and we we wouldn't necessarily have to I mean, we have the the old logo ready to go. >> Yes. And >> you wouldn't have to pay probably for the die charges and everything if there >> because we already have that.

204
01:03:48.559 --> 01:04:04.160
>> Yeah. >> So, we just use the old logo, >> the Centennial logo. >> And once we do new coins for the city in general, whatever, we incorporate that. >> Actually, don't they have both logos? The old city logo and the Centennial logo? Because I thought we did one on

205
01:04:04.160 --> 01:04:20.799
the back. >> We would use that. >> No, no, I know. But I'm saying they already have they already have the old city logo. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, so this matter of a new silk screen for whatever we >> the backside. Yeah, >> I think that'd be fine

206
01:04:20.799 --> 01:04:37.880
because really I mean some coins. >> It's only $30 for the silk. >> Have you guys seen the coin? >> I don't know. No, I know. >> Yeah, I'll grab a couple coins. I wanted

207
01:04:43.520 --> 01:05:05.640
Well, there's I mean it would be it would be one of the last. >> The good thing though is well >> well the Centennial logo doesn't have as many this logo doesn't have as many colors Centennial logo.

208
01:05:06.240 --> 01:05:36.559
>> Well that's that's the back side of the coin right there. >> Oh yeah. Thank you. That's what the Centennial logo was. My thoughts on it is that you may want to consider just doing something that doesn't have a hard date or something on it. That way, whatever extra you may

209
01:05:36.559 --> 01:05:53.880
have, you can use towards the year after. And you know if you're going to use these for other dignitaries and >> a good idea >> with no dates but >> once you once you put a date on it >> you know I just

210
01:05:54.079 --> 01:06:09.520
>> that's my only even these coins it's they're they're universal. I mean, it's, you know, it's still sending a 100 years technically because >> the city has earned that 100 years and whatnot, but >> you put a specific date and an event on

211
01:06:09.520 --> 01:06:26.200
it, now you're just >> if you end up not reaching your maximum, let's say you have a 100 coins left, really not going to be used for next year. >> Yeah. You can't like hand them out, say, "Here's our mayor's ball coin," or whatever. I mean,

212
01:06:27.200 --> 01:06:43.039
>> this is so cool. So this is the real name of the river. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> So as you can see on this on the city seal side that's cut in. I mean it's >> that's and then then the back is just now most of these coins you you'll see they both sides are kind of like that,

213
01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:59.039
right? >> Um they screen printed this because it was >> it's more of a photo photo and you couldn't really cut that out. I don't know how much work goes into them doing something like that or not, but again,

214
01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:14.960
>> we just screen print the that on there. But if we if we did genericize it, but then you're using the same thing every year, you don't really want to do that either. >> They're special collect. Yeah. >> So,

215
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:44.960
>> I mean, I like the idea of of having every year the same on there, but obviously you wouldn't want to. But we have to >> I mean we could just do something where it doesn't have to be dated and it just

216
01:07:44.960 --> 01:08:01.599
say proud of our first responders and veterans something to that. I mean obviously like with some type of language that says you know honoring all of our veterans and first responders or something because that can be continuously given out to everybody. >> That's true.

217
01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:20.880
>> It's not dated. It's not doesn't have the mayor's law on it. It's just >> here's our point. Here's the city. for honoring our first responders and veterans and military personnel, whatever. >> Yeah. And then in this case, what was left over to first responders or

218
01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:46.960
whatever is >> Yeah, that's not a bad idea. >> Good idea. >> For something every once in a while. And your wife had a good idea. >> Yeah. >> He's like, "Is it going to make it more work for me?"

219
01:08:46.960 --> 01:09:03.920
>> So instead of having the date and stuff on it and and mayor's bought and all that, we just take what you know, we're honor first responders. So we we design something first responders on the back like that. So it's generic and so we can still give that out after the fact if we

220
01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:20.799
had leftovers. I think that's a good idea. >> Yeah, it is a good idea. >> I mean, even where I have down at that bottom celebrating courage, honoring service, and supporting heroes, we could put that language maybe on there with something. I don't know. >> Yeah. I I think you still put tunnel

221
01:09:20.799 --> 01:09:36.880
towers on there, too. >> Yeah. >> So, it's >> Yeah. >> And as we go forward, we could always once it's if we know we're selling out all the time, then we could probably do one, which would be good. Yeah, at least let's out the gate. Let's keep it

222
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:56.239
somewhat generic. Well, I like that. So, we just have to and and actually probably whatever you come up with in the flyer, that would be a portion that would what we'd use for

223
01:09:56.239 --> 01:10:13.040
the Okay. >> the screen print side. Yes. No, >> I think that's a great idea. >> Yeah, just >> Do you have one of those? >> I do not. >> You can have that. Do you have one? >> No. >> You can have that.

224
01:10:13.040 --> 01:10:36.320
>> Oh, thank you. >> You have one, don't you? >> So, here. >> No, I don't have because Damn it. Say no. Just walk back up. >> Okay. And like I said, we so budget wise, we've got about 10 grand in there. So

225
01:10:36.320 --> 01:10:51.600
obviously we we got seed money and the and like I said, we could come out of this with quite a bit. So I think even if we if we just sell it out, um we'll probably have 10 10

226
01:10:51.600 --> 01:11:10.239
proceeds after cost. So >> So maybe whenever we create the event, uh we can put in the description. So, we have coins for sale for $10. So, we can start promoting too. >> Well, >> or only if we have leftover.

227
01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:29.920
>> Yeah. I think he just >> I'm just saying so we make sure we hopefully sell all the points. >> Well, like I said, we're going to have is it is it 400 or 425 the capacity? >> Well, 425 is full capacity, but I mean it's tight at 425.

228
01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:45.440
>> Yeah. I guess 400 >> and with 425. Is there a dance floor? >> I think so. >> But it's tight. I mean, >> we're going to need a dance floor. >> Well, I say we >> I don't know if we're going to be able to have room for a photo booth if we do

229
01:11:45.440 --> 01:12:02.320
the full 425. I mean, everybody loved the photo booth last time, too. >> Well, you could do that out in the >> outside thing. I mean, it's a place to do that >> a lot for that. I said we we we go with capacity and um try to sell them. So if

230
01:12:02.320 --> 01:12:16.560
we and that would give us if we ordered the 500. I don't know if you can do it in >> I don't know if you can order 425 or 450. >> Probably order 400, but it's probably order five. >> Yeah, I would just get the five and then

231
01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:33.440
we'd have we had 75 left over that we >> give out. And like I said, I see people all the time and so I can like I said, I've I've probably giund out I think myself. >> Well, yeah. Every time you go to

232
01:12:33.440 --> 01:12:48.000
Tallahassee, >> give to legislatores and and different people. I mean, so um yeah, we >> and I mean Chief, he does classes, whatever. I mean, fire department does

233
01:12:48.000 --> 01:13:04.960
classes. So that'd be plenty to if nobody and we can say if you want extras we have sale for 10 bucks while there I think we get we get 500 and then we uh that way everybody if we do have 425 attendees we everybody gets

234
01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:24.719
one. Okay something else for you to design. >> Y on it. >> You're kind of like our backlog by the way. Yeah. Um, all right.

235
01:13:24.719 --> 01:13:41.280
Uh, live band or DJ? We had DJ last time. >> DJ. >> DJ because >> they can play in better. >> I think we were talking about decorations. What's the We're just going to get the quotes for that. >> Yeah, I would assume it' be around that

236
01:13:41.280 --> 01:13:57.440
same >> Yeah, this was was last year. Maybe this year it might be more. Yeah, >> you're probably talking in the six, seven grand range. Whatever penal we get. >> Did last year we pay anyone to decorate or we didn't? >> Oh, the company did nothing. >> They come out, they set it up.

237
01:13:57.440 --> 01:14:12.320
>> Yeah, they set it up. >> They tear it down, take away. >> Okay. And it's worth every Oh my gosh, it's a lot. But when you like >> when you saw them, >> it's a huge amount of work. >> They did an excellent job. >> And they did an amazing job. I mean,

238
01:14:12.320 --> 01:14:29.120
they set up started setting up the day before because it was so much. Good. It was so much. >> I'm trying to think. So, they they that price was for the for the whole venue. We end up only using half. So, did I'm trying to think that

239
01:14:29.120 --> 01:14:45.199
>> we used everything. They just put it >> more stuff. So, it was less spread out. >> Yes. >> Okay. Because like we had the the uplighting, the chandelier up lighting and because we were supposed to be using

240
01:14:45.199 --> 01:15:00.960
the full room, they ended up using them >> more like they put them closer together and they put like some out. >> Well, the DJ did that lighting, didn't he? >> He did the Well, there was two different types of lighting. the lighting that he did that went all the way around the room. And then we had those box lights

241
01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:20.480
that we got that went from floor to ceiling that were throughout the whole room from that company. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Especially if we're going to charge 125 per ticket. You want to make sure it looks like >> Yeah. >> beautiful.

242
01:15:20.480 --> 01:15:37.440
>> The takes up less room, less >> Yes. Yes. and >> and has a better variety. We're up his own. >> He included that photo booth. >> He did and the uploading was in his price. >> Can we reach out to the same? >> We can. >> Let's just go ahead and get his estimate

243
01:15:37.440 --> 01:15:54.400
>> and we'll get the estimate from the other folks. Um we'll just coordinate amongst ourselves to go go out there and take a look at the stuff. Where is it? In Tampa. Yep. It's far.

244
01:15:54.400 --> 01:16:09.360
And do you remember how we did the three quotes last time on >> that? We got one from EPI, which is who we used, but then >> we sent that to a couple of >> we asked the other two >> like based on what this was. We didn't give them the price, but we told them

245
01:16:09.360 --> 01:16:24.480
like what we wanted based on what her what her quote was >> because we knew what we were getting from her. >> Okay. >> And then some of them couldn't even didn't even have everything that she had. So >> Okay. So follow the same protocol probably.

246
01:16:24.480 --> 01:16:44.880
>> I would think so because >> if I mean if they have something comparable. Yeah. But I mean they like the barrels. They didn't have like the other two companies didn't even have the barrels. >> Walls. >> Yeah. >> Okay. What else do we need to talk about?

247
01:16:44.880 --> 01:17:00.480
>> Oh, Tim. Do we want to see if Tim can do the photography again? I think we paid him $200. >> Yeah. I mean, I'll ask him if it'll be the same price, but >> I'll I'll reach out to >> Yeah. Yeah. He did a good job. >> Yeah. He's the one who did the head shot, too, for

248
01:17:00.480 --> 01:17:21.840
>> Yeah. >> That's a really good price. >> Yeah, he's he's reasonable. >> Nice. I want his number. >> He get >> Okay, so that covers >> ticketing. It was we we gota >> I know >> gotta finish up that material so we can

249
01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:41.679
get it out there. >> I know. >> I do have a regular job that I have to do. >> Let me know what you want me to do. I help you. Um cuz yeah, I mean we're two months away. >> I can get this updated pretty quick.

250
01:17:41.679 --> 01:17:56.400
This stuff it's just I got to get the flyer done. But this this won't take me long to update the sponsorship packet. We just need to I mean we need to fly her with it. >> Yes, I know. >> That's And we need driver.

251
01:17:56.400 --> 01:18:12.560
>> I know. We got to get the tickets. I mean, we're two months out. So, people need to know. >> I know. And I got to get the actual invite done, not just the flyer. So, yes. So, we can get those out, too, because I still have the list for you to send >> all the letter and the letter because I

252
01:18:12.560 --> 01:18:29.280
we need to talk about that too. So obviously um everybody on the event committee gets a ticket plus one, right? Um city council ticket plus one.

253
01:18:29.280 --> 01:18:46.320
Um and then we had a list of folks going to invite. We can look through that maybe next meeting. Um, you know, last time we we were trying to get people to come. Um, we

254
01:18:46.320 --> 01:19:01.920
didn't um we we basically just spent money on we didn't make any money on on the ball. Um, so given if we we're trying to do this for charity or whatever, you know, I don't do we do we extend
