Steve Burgess, President of the Charlotteville <br /> High School Band Boosters, stated that the CHS Band will be <br /> representing the City in the Cotton Bowl Parade on New <br /> Year's Day. Rev. Burgess stated that it will cost <br /> approximately $55,000 to take 180 students and 50 chaperones <br /> on the trip and he requested that Council contribute $15,000 <br /> toward the trip. <br /> <br /> Mr. Barnes qUestioned what was the largest amount ever <br />raised by the Band and it was stated that $42,000 had been <br />raised a few years previous. <br /> <br /> Rev. Burgess stated that a marchathon, a raffle, and <br /> sales of miscellaneous food items were planned to raise <br />funds. <br /> <br /> Mr. Towe stated that he felt that the number of <br />chaperones appears to be high and was concerned with City <br />funds covering these expenses. Mr. Towe questioned what <br />action the School Board had taken regarding the request by <br />the Band Boosters. <br /> <br /> Mr. John Pezzoli, Chairman of the School Board, stated <br />that the School Board had supported the efforts of the Band <br />Boosters, but felt that they should continue their fund <br />raising activities. Mr. Pezzoli stated that no funds had <br />been approved by the School Board, but that the School Board <br />had indicated it would reconsider the matter should the fund <br />raising efforts fall short. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Dr. Hall, Dr. Vincent <br />Cibbarelli, Superintendent of City Schools, stated that <br />instructional money was included in the budget for the band, <br />but travel funds were not. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck stated that he felt the parental involvement <br />and the number of chaperones planning to attend the parade <br />was good for the band program and recommended that Council <br />indicate their willingness to loan the Band Boosters the <br />money necessary to meet their September deadline. Mr. Buck <br />stated that he felt it was appropriate to ask families <br />attending the parade to contribute to their expenses. Mr. <br />Buck stated that he would agree to appropriate some funds to <br />the Band Boosters should their funding raising efforts fall <br />short, but would not agree to the $15,000 request. <br /> <br /> On mOtion by Mr. Barnes, seconded by Dr. Hall, the <br />Council unanimously gave their expression of support for the <br />Band Boosters' fund raising activities and indicated their <br />willingness to provide a loan of up to $15,000 to enable the <br />Band Boosters to meet their September deadline. <br /> <br /> Mr. Towe Stressed that he had reservations regarding <br />the number of chaperones for the trip and that he would not <br />be willing to approve $65 per chaperone for that large a <br />number. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION: $55,000 - PERINATAL NUTRITION AND EDUCATIONAL <br />SERVICES (2nd reading) <br /> <br /> The $55,000 appropriation for the Perinatal Nutrition <br />and Educational Services Program which was offered at the <br />August 3rd meeting, was approved by the following vote. <br /> <br /> <br />
