E. Consider Co- Sponsorship of Proposed MACC Concert. Staff
Recommendation: Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
Councilmember Wozniak said he supports the City co-
sponsoring the event with MACC; however, he indicated
that the proposal must state that it is for community -
wide benefit. He said it must be a cooperative effort
between the City, School District and MACC.
In response to Councilmember Montgomery, Ms. Waters
clarified that MACC is not looking for a monetary
contribution. She said what they are looking for is
support and the City's ability to waive certain fees and
expedite certain processes.
Councilmember Montgomery said he could support the co-
sponsorship.
In response to Councilmember Perez, Ms. Waters said MACC
would be insured for the event under the MUSD insurance
and she was not sure whether that insurance would allow
the designation of the City as an additional insured.
She indicated that MACC would gladly pay for a rider on
the City's insurance if that were possible.
Mayor Lawrason indicated that conceptually he could
support the event.
Councilmember Hunter indicated he could support the
event, but he would like a clear definition as to what
the City's role was to be.
CONSENSUS: By consensus the Council determined that "out of
pocket costs should be reimbursed to the City.
In response to Councilmember Hunter, Ms. Waters confirmed
that MACC was not requesting sponsorship from the City
for subsequent years.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Mayor Lawrason
seconded a motion to agree to conceptually co- sponsor the
event; to appoint the Public Works, Facilities and Solid Waste
Committee to work with MACC; to process the application as a
special use permit; to defer fees, with special reimbursement
to follow the event. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote.
