North Oaks <br />North Oaks annual celebration is paid for through the homeowner's association. Some <br />corporate sponsorship is also used. The City has never had to participate. I was a <br />member of the Centerville Lion's Club in Anoka County up until the past few months. <br />The City of Centerville has an annual budget allocation of approximately $18,000 that is <br />used to fund certain events of the "Fete des Lacs" which is organized by the local Lion's <br />Club. The events the City sponsors are mainly the fireworks and large parade. <br /> <br />Roseville <br />We spend about $20,000 annually for our week-long Rosefest, but fortunately we're <br />able to secure about $10,000 in donations, so the net cost is only $10,000. <br /> <br />Vadnais Heights <br />Vadnais Heights has annually spent $5,000 on our Heritage Days <br />events and then relied on donations (which we average about $30,000) to <br />fill the gap. We had the same concern by our City Council. In 2007, in <br />addition to our $5,000 we have just created a cultural committee, which <br />we funded for $5,000 and are budgeting $2,000 for a very part-time <br />Royalty Coordinator and $2,000 for the Royalty. To add to all of this, <br />it is our 50th Anniversary in 2007 and the council budgeted a one time <br />amount of $15,000 for that event. <br /> <br />White Bear Lake <br />This year for our 125th the City held a large "Community Picnic" <br />and we contributed about $1K; the rest was paid for by civic clubs and <br />sponsors. Each year for the past 13 we have contributed $8K for <br />Marketfest, a series of summer Thursday night festivals (6 in all). Our <br />Csl has been hoping to reduce that as it becomes more self sufficient. <br /> <br />If you tabulate the results of you survey I would like to see them. <br />Thanks. <br /> <br />White Bear Lake Township <br />This is an easy one for me. $505--- for White Bear Area Manitou Days Parade <br />registration, fireworks and candy (given out during parade). That's it. <br />However, we’re planning our 150th Sesquicentennial celebration in 2008. I'd be <br />interested in getting a copy of the results of your survey. <br />Thanks. <br />
