DATE:June 10, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Public Works Department requests authorization to waive the film permit fees for Wounded Warrior Projects film permit request.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Authorize the City Manager to waive the film permit fees for Wounded Warriors; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT
Waiving the film permit fees would result in a loss of $525.00 of revenue.
DISCUSSION
The City recently received a request for a film permit from the Wounded Warrior Project team. Per their submitted application (attached), the filming is to take place on July 5th at the Hollywood Sports Park and includes a livestream filming of a capture the flag paintball event with program participants. All filming will occur on private property only. The Wounded Warriors project is a Non-Profit organization with a verified 501(c)3 status that serves veterans of the armed forces throughout the United States, including in Bellflower.
The organization’s mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors through a variety of services and programs. These include, but are not limited to, providing comfort and care items to service members in the hospital, counseling, long-term rehabilitative care, mental health and wellness programs, operation of resource centers, and advocacy services for veteran policies and initiatives. Their services are available to any veterans or service members who served in the military on or after September 11, 2001, and incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound during or after service. By alleviating the permit fees, the City can demonstrate their commitment to honoring and supporting veterans' causes, enabling Wounded Warriors to allocate more resources directly to their vital programs and services.
