| Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Community Services
| Subject: | Consideration of a request from the Sister City Association of Garden Grove for co-sponsorship of the 2018 Strawberry Stomp 5K. (Cost: $10,177) (Action Item) | Date: | 1/23/2018 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to consider a request for co-sponsorship of the 5th annual Strawberry Stomp 5K from the Sister City Association of Garden Grove. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Sister City Association of Garden Grove (Association) is a local 501C(3) organization that is in good standing and has been serving the Garden Grove community since 1989. Each year, the Association sends Garden Grove youth to our sister city, Anyang, South Korea, and also hosts their youth as part of their student exchange program. All proceeds from their fundraising efforts go directly toward sending students overseas and hosting the incoming exchange students. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Association is requesting City Council approval for co-sponsorship of the 2018 Strawberry Stomp 5K. This request meets the requirements set within the City's co-sponsorship policy. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
Co-sponsorship for the 2018 Strawberry Stomp 5K will have an impact to the City's General Fund. The cost to provide Police, Fire and Public Works staff required to support this event is approximately $11,177. The Association contribution is $1,000 toward the City's costs, therefore the impact is reduced to an approximate amount of $10,177. The Association is striving to make this event self-sufficient and with continued success they hope to contribute a larger amount each year until they are able to pay the full amount for City support. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Consider the Sister City Association of Garden Grove request for co-sponsorship of their 5th annual Strawberry Stomp 5K.
