Celebration,and Halloween Party. These events have been longstanding traditions in our community.
Residents have enjoyed February Festival for 24 years,the Easter Egg Candy Hunt and 4th of July
Celebration for 34 years,and the Halloween Party for 33 years.To date, $35,306.80 has been donated to
the 2017 Community Events Sponsorship Program in increments of$500 or more.Numerous smaller
donations have also been received bringing the total amount contributed to $37,731.80 to date. All
donations exceeding$500 must be approved by the City Council.
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
when Chanhassen was 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.
RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation that the city council approve the attached resolution accepting the donations
totaling$35,306.80 from area businesses to offset costs associated with the four community events.
