4 Friday, April 26, 2002 Council Downscales July 4 Festivities By Jocelyn Oberdick Staff Writer At a budgetary work session Wednesday, the Chapel Hill Town Council voted against the complete elimination of the town’s Fourth of July celebration for this year. Instead, the council members decided that the festivities would be a scaled down version of the traditional celebra tion, which typically involves a fireworks display at Kenan Stadium. This decision could save the town at least $20,000. The change is designed to save Chapel Hill money and help with this year’s unusually tight budget.

For Chapel Hill, this would mean a $1.4 million loss, and council members are searching for all possible ways to cut comers and save money. The Fourth of July celebration is one way in which the town’s money can be conserved, offi cials decided Wednesday.

Costs for last year’s celebration were about $32,000. These projected savings mean that the reduced celebration would cost the town only $7,000 to $12,000.

But council member Flicka Bateman said she doesn’t think that the changes are permanent or that the festivities will be the only thing the council tapers down. “I think down the road, we’ll defi nitely look to restore it,” Bateman said. Spatz said details about this reduced celebration have not yet been deter mined, but Robert Humphreys, executive director of the Chapel Hill Downtown Commission, stressed that the celebration will not have a carnival-like atmosphere. Humphreys said he expects the cele bration to have music and entertain ment for children but no carnival games or food vendors.

Humphreys said he expects a drastic drop in attendance because the venue has been changed to UNC’s McCorkle Place. “The fireworks drew 15,000 to 20,000 people to Kenan Stadium,” Humphreys said. “ I would see this year drawing 20 (percent) to 25 percent of that. I’m not even sure if we could get 5,000 people to attend.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. Kudzu - 1 Mow PRONOUNCE f -MAN 1 MATE THESE YOU HUSBAND AND... I^JEQUEEZE!
