INTRODUCED September 14, 2020 BY: Ed Brown MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL APPROVED: PRESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL ATTESTED BY: CITY CLERK City Clerk’s Office Item # T-1 Background Paper for Proposed RESOLUTION COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 14, 2020 TO: City Council Members of City Council CC: Nicholas A. Gradisar, Mayor VIA: Brenda Armijo, City Clerk FROM: Council President Dennis E. Flores SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PAYMENT FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCIES ACCOUNT IN THE 2020 GENERAL FUND BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,000 TO BE PAID TO POSADA DUE TO POSADA’S INABILITY TO FUNDRAISE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SUMMARY: This Resolution provides financial assistance to Posada as an historically sponsored entity. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council sponsored fundraising events for Posada multiple times over the past five years. BACKGROUND: City Council President Dennis E. Flores is requesting financial support of Posada. Since 2015, City Council has regularly supported the annual Juleps & Jodhpurs fundraising event. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it impossible for fundraising events to be held and these additional funds are still needed in the community. Posada was originally included in Resolution 14466 for financial assistance to multiple agencies unable to fundraise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Posada was removed due to a conflict of interest for Councilman Schilling. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funds in the amount of $1,000 would be paid from the Council Contingencies Account in the 2020 General Fund Budget to Posada. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not Applicable. ALTERNATIVES: City Council could choose not to support Posada. RECOMMENDATION: This Resolution is at the request of City Council President Dennis E. Flores.
