Title
Orland Park Concert Event - The City Lights Orchestra
History
On July 3, 2011, the Village will host the inaugural concert event at Centennial Park West in Colette Highlands. The event was made possible through Village funding in the FY11 budget and also through generous sponsors including Mayor McLaughlin, Spaceco, Coopers Hawk Restaurant and Winery and a grant from the City Lights Orchestra.
Rich Daniels and The City Lights Orchestra have been together since 1974, bringing popular American music to events and communities. The orchestra will play from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is a family event and we are encouraging people to bring their blanket, lawn chairs and a picnic to enjoy popular music of this renowned orchestra.
The Orchestra handles the payment for all the musicians and each year their group offers grants to several communities hosting free events like ours. By receiving the grant, the Village will be able to pay at the Community Service Scale which is about 30% of fair market value for the orchestra.
The Village will pay $7,510.49 to CITY LIGHTS MUSIC INC. on the day of the event. The grant fund will send the Village a check for $2,810.49 following the performance to offset the cost.
This item was not reviewed at Committee as the arrangement for the grant was not made clear to staff until last week. It was originally assumed that the Village would simply cut the check in the reduced amount, however because the total up-front payment exceeds $5,000.00 this item requires Board approval.
