COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
|
| | | | | | | | Subject/Title:
Motion authorizing the sponsorship of $5,000 to eight entities in varying amounts as detailed in the Council Communication |
| | | | | | | | Recommended Action:
The Sponsorship Committee recommends that City Council authorize the sponsorship of $5,000 to the eight entities detailed below.
|
| | | | | | | | Background:
The last several years, City Council has seen an increase in requests for sponsorship funds. Often times, the funds have been spent before the end of the year leaving Council struggling to find funds for support. In order to prevent this first-come-first-serve problem and allow Council to have a complete picture of the types of sponsorship requests when making a decision, a more structured process was discussed and approved at the January 16th, 2019 City Council meeting. Councilors Vigil and Carson volunteered to serve on the Sponsorship Committee tasked with reviewing the applications and making a recommendation to City Council.
Below is the recommendation from the Sponsorship Committee.
- Suds4SAR 2022- $500 plus use of the stage ($200)
- Oktobrufest- $1,000 plus use of the stage ($200) and tent ($300)
- Bike 2 Build, San Luis Valley Century- $250
- December Piano Recital - $0
- SLV PrideFest 2022 - $1,000 plus use of the stage ($200) and tent ($300)
- Splashland Annual "Kids Only" Triathlon - $500
- Splashland Annual Benefit Sprint Triathlon - $250
- 2nd Annual Starry Night Ball - $500 plus use of the stage ($200), tent ($300), and Pavilion (approx. $400)
- Block Party for America "BPA by YPA" - $1,000 plus use of the stage ($200)
Attached are the full applications.
