RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, to issue a payment, on behalf of the Public Works Department, in the amount of $2,000 payable to the Community Foundation of Alamo from County Service Area R-7 (CSA), for the holiday lights at Andrew H. Young Park, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Alamo area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% County Service Area (CSA) R-7 Funds.

BACKGROUND:

CSA R-7 residents participate in Alamo’s Annual Tree Lighting Festival each year. The Alamo Tree Lighting Festival is a collaborative effort coordinated by the Community Foundation of Alamo. CSA R-7 also contributes the use of Andrew H. Young Park and provides funding to decorate the park with holiday lights. The 2019 Alamo Tree Lighting Festival will take place on Sunday, December 8, 2019 from 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. The holiday lights will be installed on or after November 15, 2019 and will remain up through January 15, 2020. The CSA R-7 contribution was reviewed by the Alamo Municipal Advisory Council (Alamo MAC) at their meeting on May 7, 2019 and a $2,000 contribution from CSA R-7 funds was recommended for this event.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval the quality of this event would be diminished.
