Approve items 6.2 -
It's recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a municipal sponsorship agreement with Danny Zelisco, LLC to provide festival programming for the 2017 solar eclipse
Goal #2: Encourage progressive economic development, tourism, arts, and entertainment
On August 21, 2017 the southern Illinois region will experience a total solar eclipse. Carbondale provides a location that will experience the longest period of darkness and as such, presents a unique opportunity to attract tourists and visitors to the community. Initial estimates predict that as many as 50,000 people may converge on the community to experience the eclipse. The eclipse occurs on Monday, August 21 at 1:20 PM and will last approximately 2 minutes, 38 seconds. Since the event occurs on Monday, visitors are expected to begin arriving in Carbondale and the surrounding area on the preceding weekend. In order to take advantage of this unique opportunity to potentially host tens of thousands of visitors, Carbondale Tourism has been working over the past year to identify opportunities to provide entertainment over the weekend preceding the eclipse.
Over the past several months, Tourism has been working with a concert and events promoter, Danny Zelisco Presents, LLC, to potentially provide programming and production for a 2-day music festival featuring national music acts that would be scheduled on Saturday and Sunday of the weekend preceding the 2017 eclipse. The event location would be on Washington Street, between Walnut and Main Streets, at the location of the 2016 Carbondale Rocks Revival. In exchange for promotion of the festival, the City is being asked to provide a sponsorship of $50,000 to help facilitate the development of the event. Danny Zelisco Presents has presented a resume of events and musical acts that this company has produced and is attached to this agenda item.
One of the Council goals discussed earlier in the agenda is to "encourage progressive economic development, tourism, arts, and entertainment". Hosting a successful event for the 2017 eclipse could contribute significantly to this goal. During the FY 17 budget process, funds were allocated to the Support Services division (40010) to help facilitate special events and sufficient revenue exists to cover the cost of this sponsorship agreement.
