STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 7, 2012
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR EVENT SPONSORSHIP AND IN -KIND SERVICES FOR
FITNESS AWARENESS DAY 2012
SUMMARY
As they have done for the past two years, Joy of Kung Fu is requesting City co- sponsorship of
its annual fitness awareness day. This year, they are referring to eth event as "Rosemead
Fitness Day and Health Fair," which they would like to host at Garvey Community Center on
Sunday, October 28, 2012. This year, they are adding an art contest as part of the event. The
requested sponsorship includes free use of the community center, staff assistance, event
promotion, and hanging of boulevard banners with a total value of approximately $1,300. The
event is free and open to the community.
Community organization policy limits "funding requests" to non - profit organizations or public
schools based in Rosemead using funds for a "unique or emergency situation." Joy of Kung Fu
is not incorporated. This request, however, is not for funding, but for Rosemead's co-
sponsorship of a community event. City Council has approved this request in past years.
Staff Recommendation:
That City Council approve Joy of Kung Fu's request for co- sponsorship of Fitness Awareness
Day 2012 with in -kind services valued at approximately $1,300.

FISCAL IMPACT
While no funds have been budgeted for a Fitness Awareness Day event in the current fiscal
year, these costs can be absorbed into the regular operational budget as it is assumed that the
Center would ordinarily be operational on the requested date and Public Works will hang
banned ring regular working hours.
