The Honorable City Council C
Christine Adams, Director of Community Service
March 31, 1993 (Meeting of April 7, 1993)
Consider Cinco de Mayo Special Event Co- Sponsorship
by Citizens for Cinco de Mayo
BACRGROTJND
The 1993 Cinco de Mayo Festival will be held on Saturday, May
1, 1993 and will feature activities for families from 10 a.m.
- 4 p.m. Last year's event was held from 12 noon - 4 pm, and
was followed by an adult dance, dinner, and Senorita De Mayo
Pageant. The evening's activities were sponsored by Citizens
for Cinco de Mayo 1992.
Citizens for Cinco de Mayo have approached the city regarding
co- sponsorship of this event again. For their part, the
organization will be conducting the dinner, dance and
coronation from 5:30 pm - 11:30 pm. They are requesting that
for the evening activities facility fees be waived and that
the City fund their Mariachi band that evening at a cost of
$550.00.
In 1992, the City Council waived all facility charges except
direct staff costs and paid $550.00 for a Mariachi band.
This year, the requested funding for the band was calculated
in the annual budget of $2000 for this event.
The facility fee schedule indicates that for city co-
sponsored activities, the other sponsoring organization shall
pay staff direct costs. Actual direct costs for set up and
clean up in 1992 were $122.00.
Staff recommends acceptance of Citizens for Cinco de Mayo as
a co- sponsor of the event and that the City Council direct
staff to assess direct costs to Citizens for Cinco de Mayo at
an estimated $225.00 ($25.00 per hour for 9 hours - 1 hour
set up, 2 hours clean up, 6 hours program) and authorize
$550.00 for the funding of the mariachi band for the evening
program.
