TO: BILL CROWE, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MICHAEL D. BURBANK, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATIOIN6�
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 2005
RE: ACQUISITION OF CARNIVAL RIDE VENDOR FOR THE CITY'S
ANNIVERSARY AND 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION - 2005
For a number of years the City has used Blash Shows to provide rides and carnival
games for the City's Anniversary and 41h of July Celebration at Rosemead Park.
Depending on what day the 41h of July falls on, the rides could be operational from 3 -5
days.
Last year, Blash charged a flat fee of $ 25,000.00 for 3 days. The City collected $ 24,400
from the sale of ride tickets for the same period of time.
This year Blash Shows is willing to operate the rides for 4 days, for a flat fee of twenty
seven thousand dollars ($27,000). Based on last year's figures, the City should collect
over $ 26,000 from ride ticket sales.
As an aside, Blash Shows would again operate ten (10) game booths and a food
concession wagon all four (4) days. As in the past, the City will have community-based
agencies provide food and or game booths on the 4th of July as a form of a fundraiser for
those groups.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve a four (4) day carnival, and authorize
the Mayor to execute the Agreement with Blash Shows (attached).
