SUBJECT: APPROVAL THE CITY HALL LIGHTING DISPLAY FOR OVARIAN
CANCER AWARENESS MONTH SPONSORED BY COUNCIL DISTRICT
6 AS A CITY COUNCIL SPONSORED SPECIAL EVENT TO EXPEND
CITY FUNDS AND ACCEPT DONATIONS OF MATERIALS AND
SERVICES FOR THE EVENT
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the City Hall Lighting Display for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month to be recognized by the City Council on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, as a City Council sponsored Special Event and approve the expenditure of funds.
2. Approve and accept donations from various individuals, businesses, or community groups to support the event.

BACKGROUND
On February 1, 2005, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 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.
In lieu of a City Proclamation, Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month will be recognized by the City Council on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 and sponsored by Councilmember Davis. The Tower and Rotunda will be lit in teal blue.
The American Cancer Society estimates 21,410 cases of ovarian cancer were diagnosed in 2021 and 13,770 individuals died from the disease nationwide, 2,550 new cases and 1,640 deaths in California. Education and awareness regarding ovarian cancer are especially paramount because symptoms are often vague, or altogether absent, and there is no early detection test for the

disease which makes diagnosis particularly difficult. Less than 50 percent of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer live five years beyond their diagnosis, and mortality rates have not significantly improved in decades. This is unacceptable and yet, the cruel reality for too many women.
Councilmember Davis is having this lighting to honor Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. This event will help promote the needed awareness of ovarian cancer and its symptoms.
ANALYSIS
City Council Policy 7-14, City Hall Event Lighting Policy, Sections B.1 and C.1 allows Rotunda and Tower lighting in conjunction with proclamations for official actions or ceremonial items as approved by City Council.
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 Davis 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 6, City departments and the Office of the City Clerk to proceed with the event. Any cash donations received will be processed pursuant to the City’s normal financial and budgetary procedures.
PUBLIC OUTREACH/INTEREST
The Office of the City Clerk will post the item on the City’s Website for the September 21, 2022 Rules Committee Agenda and the September 27th, 2022 City Council Agenda.
