Title

Funding Request for "The Stop the Violence Rally" (B)

Explanation

At the June 11, 2001 City Commission meeting, Karl Anderson requested a co-sponsorship of his "Stop the Violence Rally" to be held at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Multi-purpose Center.  Recreation Manager Karen Snyder notified Mr. Anderson by letter that his request for co-sponsorship had been approved.  The rental fee amount was reduced from $1150 to $750 for this event.  The $750 amount represents the projected salary costs for recreation staff working during the event.   In addition, staff also waived the fees for the use of the kitchen, sound system and a meeting room in the amount of $325.  The cost for five police officers is estimated to be approximately $643.   Last year the City co-sponsored the event, reduced the rental fee, and paid for the police officers ($420).

Fiscal Note

Funding will need to be appropriated from the City Commission Contingency.

Recommendation

The City Commission approve the co-sponsorship for the "Stop the Violence Rally" reducing the rental fee to $750 and appropriate $643 from City Commission Contingency for police services.
