CC - Item 5A - Request for Event Sponsorship and In-Kind Services for Fitness Awareness Day 2012ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL 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. PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process. 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.
