INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

| From: | John Montanchez
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Community Services
| | Subject: | Consideration of a written request to waive fees for the use of Atlantis Play Center for the OC Autism Christmas event on Saturday, December 14, 2019. (Cost: $874) (Action Item) | Date: | 11/12/2019 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To transmit a letter from the Orange County Autism (OCA) organization requesting approval to waive the non-resident/non-profit Exclusive Use Fee for their annual OCA Christmas event at the Atlantis Play Center. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The OCA is a Westminster based, tax exempt non-profit 501(c)(3), that provides assistance to children and adults with disabilities both locally and globally.
OC Autism's Breakfast with Santa invites 500 families with autism and special needs to enjoy a free event that includes food, pictures with Santa, toy give away and much more. A significant percentage of the attendees are Garden Grove families. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The OCA is requesting City Council approval for co-sponsorship of the annual Christmas event on December 14, 2019 at the Atlantis Play Center. The OCA’s non-profit status is in good standing with the California Secretary of State Office and Internal Revenue Service. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost to co-sponsor the 2019 OCA Christmas event for exclusive use of the Atlantis Play Center by a non-resident/non-profit group is $920 for an eight (8) hour time slot, which includes the cost to staff the event. OCA has committed a total amount of $46.00 (5% of rental fee) to contribute towards the total permit rental fees. This brings the total amount OCA is requesting for the City to waive to $874. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Consider the request to waive fees for the Orange County Autism for use of Atlantis Play Center for the OC Autism Christmas event on December 14, 2019.
