6.b) Staff Report-Taco Daze Dodge Ball Tournament
STAFF REPORT
Date of Meeting: July 7, 2014
To: Parks and Recreation Committee
From: Judi Negus, Office Assistant
Re: Taco Daze Dodge Ball Tournament - Final Plans
Background:
The Parks and Recreation Committee met on June 2, 2014 to discuss plans for Taco Daze, to be
held on Saturday, September 6, 2014. The Committee has been responsible for coordinating
the Dodge Ball Tournament. At the June 2, 2014 meeting, the Committee recommended staff
advertise and hire dodge ball referees and increase the registration cost by $5 to help cover the
cost. Negus advised there was $366 remaining in the “Events” budget. Rasmussen was to
inventory dodge ball T-shirts to determine the need and follow up at the July 7 meeting.
Issue:
Are there sufficient funds in the budget to cover costs related to the Dodge Ball Tournament?
Proposal Details:
To date, no applications have been rece ived for the dodge ball referee positions. If there are
not sufficient funds in the budget, the Committee should decide whether or not T-shirts should
be given out, solicit a donation, or choose another prize to be awarded. If there are no
applications for the dodge ball referee positions, Committee members will have to solicit four
volunteer referees and identify them at the August 4, 2014 meeting.
Fiscal Impact:
There is approximately $366 left in the “Events” budget for this year.
Recommendation:
1) Decide whether or not referees should be paid.
2) Designate Committee member responsibilities for day of the event.
3) Determine which supplies are needed for staff to purchase.
4) Review flyer and documentation for any needed changes.
