Commissioners,

 

It has come to my attention that the group working on Shimmer for 2017 had set a date of February 10.   Via e-mail I was in favor of a different date.  Their decision was based on  the following

 

1.        They want the event to coincide with a 2nd Friday art walk

2.        The 2nd Friday in March is the beginning of spring break and the student population would be missing from the  Shimmer participants

 

P & R staff are not in agreement with this decision for the following reasons.

 

1.        The cold weather created issues with some of the technology at the 2016 Shimmer event

2.       The cold may have been a deterrent for a larger audience.

 

P & R staff would like to recommend a March 3 date for the following reasons

 

1.       The weather may be warmer

2.       It does not conflict with the ACC basketball event with begins March 8

3.       While it is nice to coincide with 2nd Friday art walk,  It also might be nice to create a separate event to bring people onto the streets.

4.       Our large in-kind donation of equipment and services should enable us to make a recommendation.

 

I wanted to get your thoughts.  Since other partners are involved, I believe we can only recommend.  The date may still remain as set, but I wanted to keep you in the loop.   jy
