Approval is requested to expend funds for registration for parade participation and/or vendor booths, event-specific custom imprinted giveaway materials and décor, as well as gift cards and other raffle prizes under $50. These expenditures are not covered under any of the permitted uses outlined in City Council Expenditure and Reimbursement Policy 0-38.
