|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to consider a written request from the Sister City Association of Garden Grove for co-sponsorship of the 2024 Strawberry Stomp 5K on Saturday, May 25, 2024. |
| | | | | | | | 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. The Association also hosts youth from Anyang, South Korea as part of the student exchange program. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Association is requesting City Council approval for co-sponsorship of the 2024 Strawberry Stomp 5K. All proceeds from this fundraising event will go directly toward sending Garden Grove students overseas and hosting the incoming exchange students from Anyang, South Korea. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
Co-sponsorship for the 2024 Strawberry Stomp 5K will not require additional appropriation from the City's General Fund. The cost to provide Police and Public Works support including additional street closure hours for this event has been estimated to be approximately $13,000. This cost is calculated based on the two additional hours that are added to the existing street closure plans for the annual Strawberry Festival Parade. The additional cost will be absorbed within the current department budgets. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Consider the request from the Sister City Association of Garden Grove for co-sponsorship of the 2024 Strawberry Stomp 5K that will be held on Saturday, May 25, 2024.
