'I think if we're going to spend in two days and plan it for a month, I just don't think that's being responsible with the money,' a Dickinson neighbor said about the city's Red, White, and Bayou event.
For this year's event, city leaders said they plan to possibly increase ticket prices, scale down the size, and do more in-house work instead of outsourcing.An annual event in Dickinson returned, but documents reveal the city spent more than double what was first proposed and generated revenue that was only a fraction of what it projected.
"They made $27,000," Steambarge explained. "That's all they made from that event. $27,000. And they went over their proposed budget by over 100%."shows what the city would spend, and make off it. The plan shows the event would cost taxpayers about $150,000, and it would make back about $150,000. It turns out the city spent more than double and only made about $30,000.
Mayor Sean Skipworth said the original proposal wasn't a done deal. After they started to plan, the costs climbed. City leaders said it used hotel-motel tax money aimed to boost tourism. The goal, they say, wasn't to generate money off the event."Now we know. We just didn't know before," Skipworth said. "It wasn't a drunken spending binge; it was not knowing what things cost for the event and where there were with that is really more of the issue."
