|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To transmit a letter from West Garden Grove Youth Baseball requesting co-sponsorship of the Opening Day Parade on Saturday, February 22, 2020. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
Each year, the West Garden Grove Youth Baseball (WGGYB) holds an Opening Day Parade that includes baseball players and softball players in Garden Grove, the GGUSD School Board and school officials, Miss Garden Grove Court, the local Fire Department and City Council.
The WGGYB is a 501(c)3 organization that is in good standing with the Secretary of State Office and the Internal Revenue Service. More than 50 percent of their participants are Garden Grove residents. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The WGGYB is requesting City Council approval for co-sponsorship of the 2020 Opening Day Parade on Saturday, February 22, 2020. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
Co-sponsorship for the 2020 Opening Day Parade will have an impact on the City's General Fund. The cost to provide Police staff required to close city streets is approximately $2,200, the rental of the Showmobile Stage is $250, and Public Works staff to set up the Showmobile Stage is approximately $250, a total cost of $2,700. These expenses will be absorbed within the current Police and Public Works budgets since this is considered a legacy event. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Consider the West Garden Grove Youth Baseball Parade request for co-sponsorship of their Opening Day Parade on Saturday, February 22, 2020.
