VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

ITEM/TOPIC:   Presentation of the Commission on Special Events (CSE) funding allocations for 2018 Cultural, Recreational and Community Events and Education and Enrichment Programming


PRESENTER(S):   Mark Gordon, Commission on Special Events

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:   Informational only. No formal action required.


BACKGROUND:   The CSE received 49 proposals in response to the RFP for 2018 events/programs that was issued in August. “Special Event Rating Criteria” was used to evaluate all proposals with respect to how they align with a strategic approach to providing a diverse calendar of events that are well matched to the Vail brand and will exceed the expectations of the Vail guest.


STAFF RECOMMENDATION:   The CSE believes this is a strong calendar of events aligned with the Town Council’s mission of providing our citizens and guests with “an abundance of recreational, cultural and educational opportunities” that will continue to drive increased results and contribute to providing thought provoking educational and life enriching opportunities.
