RESOLUTION NO. 112-2009
AUTHORIZING THE REALLOCATION OF FY 2009-10 BUSINESS
PROMOTION FUNDS FROM OKTOBER FEST TO THE SPIRIT OF DANVILLE
HOLIDAY SHOPPING AND DINING GUIDE
WHEREAS, the Town Council adopted the 2009-10 Financial Plan on June 16, 2009; and
WHEREAS, the 2009-10 Financial Plan appropriated $2,500 toward an inaugural
Oktober Fest event, sponsored by the Discover Danville Association, designed to
promote local restaurants; and
WHEREAS, the Discover Danville Association was unable to generate sufficient
participation on the part of local businesses and elected to cancel the event to avoid the
expenditure of limited funds on an activity that would not likely generate the expected
level of economic impact; and
WHEREAS, the Discover Danville Association requests that the Town consider
reallocating the $2,500 programmed for the Oktober Fest toward the production of the
Spirit of Danville Holiday Shopping and Dining Guide; and
WHEREAS, the Holiday Shopping Guide is a catalog that features retail establishments
and restaurants participating in a one night ticketed-event on November 12, 2009,
where ticketholders are eligible for merchandise and food discounts; and
WHEREAS, the Holiday Shopping Guide is expected to drive a high volume of
consumer traffic into local businesses through significant participation on the part of the
school community; now therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council authorize the reallocation of $2,500 in FY
2009-10 Business Promotion Funds from October Fest to the Spirit of Danville Holiday
Shopping and Dining Guide.
