Authorization
REQUEST: The City Manager requesting direction from the City Commission regarding a
Financial Partnership with the Scottish Highlands Games Organization for the 2009 Games
Event in Winter Springs.
PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed for the City Commission to give staff direction regarding
the development of a financial partnership with the Scottish Highlands Games Organization for
the 2009 Games in Winter Springs.
CONSIDERATION: In the 2008 Scottish Games that was held on January 19-20,2008 the City,
the Scottish Highlands Games Organization, and the OviedolWinter Springs Chamber of
Commerce entered into a three-way partnership to fund the expansion of the games from I-day to
a 2-day event, moving the annual Ceilidh from Altamonte Springs to the Winter Springs Town
Center, and providing for a parade and Scottish bands for entertainment.
Highlands Games representatives have made the City aware that they would like to enter into a
similar partnership for the 2009 games including the following:
. Passage of a City resolution designating Scottish Highlands Games Week in Winter
Springs.
. Nightly activity in the Town Center during the week.
. Two day game activity.
. Saturday night Ceilidh.
. Saturday night Scottish bands.
Approximately 12,000 people attended the 2008 Games; an estimated 2,500 people attended the
Saturday night event. It is believed that threatening weather diminished the Saturday night event.
FUNDING: As shown in Attachment "A", for the 2008 Games $36,000 was pledged by the
City, the Chamber and the Highland Games Organization.
