PARK BOARD
Hometown Days Festival 2013 Entertainment Request
(CC 2012-94)
Mayor Golinski entertained a motion to authorize staff to negotiate and sign a contract for a national
entertainment act for the 2013 Hometown Days festival in an amount not to exceed $25 ,000 . So moved
by Alderman Colosimo; seconded by Alderman Teeling.
Mayor Golinski said staff is looking for a national act band to expand Hometown Days. Tim Evans stated
each year Yorkville tries to expand and make Hometown Days bigger and better for the community and
vendors. Many vendors came to the City and asked if it would be feasible for Yorkville to get a national
act. It would draw many more people. The proposal is the City would have to increase the entrance fee
just on that one day. This would help to make it a success financially. It would increase profits from the
festival. Alderman Kot' s first concern was can Yorkville accommodate the larger crowd and is this
something the City has talked to the police department about. He wanted to make sure the City would
have proper staffin g and proper control. Mr. Evans stated looking at the layout, there is plenty of room to
accommodate this. Alderman Kot asked what if the band was rained out. Mr. Evans stated there would be
insurance for that day of about $5 ,000. Alderman Funkhouser asked if the City is considering changing or
increasing the vendor fees for the event if going with a larger act. Mr. Evans stated that would definitely
be on the table to discuss. Alderman Funkhouser asked if the City had a different plan for advertising and
marketing for this to sponsors and the general public. Mr. Evans stated if the Council said yes then they
would start contacting promoters to lock something in within the next couple of weeks. The City would
need to start advertising. Alderman Milschewski asked that the City be mindful of the residents that live
near the band' s stage.
