BACKGROUND
On February 1, 2005, the City Council adopted Resolution 72517 which requires Councilmembers to submit a memorandum to the Rules Committee regarding proposed City Council sponsored Special Events and the proposed use of any funds.
A group of Vietnamese residents reached out to help them organize a park clean up event. Their motivation is to encourage the youth to volunteer in the community. As they are a fairly large group, Almaden Lake Park, a regional park in District 10, was chosen. The event was held on June 12, 2022 at Almaden lake Park and sponsored by Councilmember Matt Mahan. This special event was free and open to the public.
ANALYSIS
Approval by the City Council of the event will ensure compliance with the Council’s prior direction regarding Council Special Events. In observance of existing fundraising disclosure requirements, Councilmember Matt Mahan will report any cash or in-kind donations received for the event on their Disclosure of Fundraising Report (DFR-1). Approval of this memorandum will enable Council District 10, City departments and the Office of the City Clerk to proceed with the event.
