| | Subject: | Consideration of a request from the Sister City Association of Garden Grove for co-sponsorship of the 2023 Strawberry Stomp 5K on Saturday, May 27, 2023. (Estimated Sponsorship Cost: $13,000) (Action Item) | Date: | 11/15/2022 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to consider a written request from the Sister City Association of Garden Grove for co-sponsorship of the 2023 Strawberry Stomp 5K on Saturday, May 27, 2023. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Sister City Association of Garden Grove (Association) is a local non-profit organization that is in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service 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 2023 Strawberry Stomp 5K on Saturday, May 27, 2023. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
Co-sponsorship for the 2023 Strawberry Stomp 5K will have an impact to the City's General Fund. The cost to provide Police and Public Works staff required to support this event has been approximately $13,000. This approximate cost is based on the two additional hours that are added to the existing street closure plans for the annual Strawberry Festival Parade. 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 Sister City Association of Garden Grove request for co-sponsorship of their 2023 Strawberry Stomp 5K on Saturday, May 27, 2023.
