TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Patty Rodriguez, Acting Manager of the Office of the Mayor and City Council/City Clerk
AGENDA DATE: September 17, 2024
TITLE: OFFICE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM (REPORT OF: CITY
CLERK)
TITLE SUMMARY: Fiscal Year 24/25 Sponsorship Program
Recommendation(s)
That the City Council:
1. Approve the annual $60,000 Office of the Mayor and City Council Sponsorship Program.
SUMMARY
Mayor Cabrera and Mayor Pro Tem Barnard have proposed an annual sponsorship budget of $60,000 for events and programs, which is now presented to the City Council for consideration.
Per Policy 2.13 – City Sponsorship, any person or entity requesting City sponsorship typically must submit a Sponsorship application to the City Manager, who may then refer the request to the City Council. However, as the Sponsorship Program has already been included in the approved FY 2024/25 budget, no applications will be required.
Should an organization or event be canceled, unavailable, or unable to utilize the sponsorship as intended, the City Clerk or their designee is authorized to make minor adjustments to the distribution of those funds without needing to return the item to the Council for re-approval.
