Subject: L.2 Budget – Holiday Boat Parade
In prior budgets, 2019-2020 and before, there were fee waivers of $2,000 and funding of the bleachers for $2,000.
In the 2020-2021 budget, all special event fee waivers and funding supports were one-time eliminated. There was no parade that year.
During the 2021-2022 budget, we understood that the fee waivers would be reinstated. However, apparently that did not happen.
Note that the bleacher cost was still included in the proposed budget (BBR#10).
A modest parade was held that year, without bleachers, and with modest expenses.
Tonight’s recommendations from the Harbor Commission include:
The Harbor Commission would like to recommend an additional item:
A $4000 fee waiver for services related to the King Harbor Holiday Boat Parade, to be used for public safety services and bleachers in Moonstone Park.
Waivers have been given at the same level in previous years.
Please consider including this in the Budget, so that we may once again provide a full Holiday Boat Parade for the enjoyment of our community and the prestige of our City.
