Honorable Council Members,
American Medical Response (AMR) is please to be continuing the annual Safety Jam event for a fourth year.This great
community health and safety event was started in Pueblo and is growing to reach other areas of the country AMR serves
with Pueblo as the template.This great event brings health and safety equipment and education as well as available
services awareness to the public in a fun festival like environment.This event is totally free to the public with no cost or
fees placed on the attendees.As Safety Jam is totally sponsor driven and as the Pueblo City Council has previously
supported the event in 2014 with a $2000.00 donation we are seeking support again. We do realize the economy in
Pueblo is improving but may not be back to where it should be as yet. With that we are hoping The Pueblo City Council
can offer support in the amount of$1000.00 for the 2016 event.This event has grown to be a part of the kick off to the
summer for Pueblo and provides a unique way to approach our citizens with health and safety information as well as
other services and opportunities in Pueblo and the surrounding area.The money will be used to pay a vender to provide
free snow cones as a giveaway to the public as fun hydration and a feature that increase attendance and impact.The
City of Pueblo will be promoted as a sponsor of the event and the snow cone booth.Also in 2014 the City also provided
city transit buses that were utilized as a shuttle with in city park for the event. We would ask that the Council consider
allowing this again in 2016.The shuttles are vital to the event and arranging a contractor places a huge cost on the event
that is totally sponsored by local businesses. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Respectfully,
