BACKGROUND
Silicon Valley Pride Parade & Festival is a local LGBTQ+ event held annually in the City since 1977.

These expenditures are not covered under any of the permitted uses outlined in City Council Expenditure and Reimbursement Policy 0-38.
In compliance with existing fundraising disclosure requirements, all participating Mayor and Council Offices will report any solicitations made and donations received for the event in the elected official’s Disclosure of Fundraising Report (DFR-1). Any cash donations received will be processed pursuant to the City’s normal financial and budgetary procedures.
