Approve Resolution Accepting 2010 Special Event
Sponsorship Donations from Area Businesses
SUBJ:
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The City Council approves a resolution accepting donations totaling $23,400 from
area businesses for the 2010 Special Events Sponsorship Program."
Approval of this item requires a super majority vote of the City Council.
Each year the city presents the following four marquee community events:
February Festival, Easter Egg Candy Hunt, 4th of July Celebration, and Halloween
Party. These events have been long-standing traditions in our community as
residents have enjoyed February Festival for seventeen years, the Easter Egg
Candy Hunt and 4th of July Celebration for twenty-seven years, and the
Halloween Party for twenty-six years.
The generosity and civic pride of our business community is one of the many
reasons why Chanhassen is a great place to live and raise a family. It is not
surprising that these types of partnerships were recognized in assisting
Chanhassen in being named one of the best places to live and raise a family in
multiple publications. All of the community events are made possible through
generous donations from the local business community.
RECOMMENDA TION
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve the attached resolution
accepting donations totaling $23,400 from area businesses to offset costs
associated with the four community events.

Dear <<First>>:
On behalf of the City of Chanhassen, I would like to personally thank you for
your donation to the 2010 Sponsorship Program. The February Festival, Easter
Candy Hunt, 4th ofJuly Celebration, and Halloween Party would not be possible
without your generous support. These family-friendly events create an
opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate.
The 1 ih annual February Festival was held on Saturday, February 6 on Lake
Ann. It was a beautiful day and over 500 people fished in the contest. Over 200
fish were caught and the winning fish was a 3.34 lb. northern. In addition to
those fishing, many others came out to enjoy the horse-drawn sleigh rides,
sliding hill, ice skating, bingo, and concessions.
The generosity and civic pride of our business community is one ofthe many
reasons why Chanhassen is a great place to live and raise a family. It is not
surprising that these types of partnerships were recognized by Family Circle
magazine in designating Chanhassen as a Top Ten Town to Raise a Family, and
by Money Magazine's designation as the #2 Best Place to Live in the nation.
I look forward to seeing you at the events throughout the year, and sincerely
appreciate your participation in the sponsorship program.
Best Regards,
Tom Furlong
Mayor
