RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to waive a total of $300 in rental fees and $400 refundable deposit fees for the use of the Rodeo Senior Center by New Horizons Career Development Center on August 19, 2017, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for the 2017 Annual Community Block Party, November 15th or 16th, 2017, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for the Annual Thanksgiving Meal Giveaway, and on December 15th and 16th, 2017, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for the Annual Community Holiday Meal and Toy Giveaway, Rodeo area. (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund

BACKGROUND:

New Horizons (CDC) requests a rental fee waiver for the use of the Rodeo Senior Center to provide annual events which benefit low income residents in the Rodeo community. New Horizons CDC is committed to providing resources to low income residents which include: computer and resume workshops, life skills classes and opportunities for educational advancement.

New Horizons CDC is requesting to waive a total of $300 in rental fees and the $400 refundable deposits for the use of the Rodeo Senior Center on August 19, 2017, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for the 2017 Annual Community Block Party, on November 15th or 16th, 2017, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for the Annual Thanksgiving Meal Giveaway and on December 15th and 16th 2017, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for the Annual Community Holiday Meal and Toy Giveaway. These annual events provide a day of fun and unity for the Rodeo community, providing school supplies, food baskets and toys for low income individuals and families. The requested dates do not conflict with other community programs that take place regularly at the Rodeo Senior Center.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request for fee waivers is not approved, the use of the Rodeo Senior Center would not be funded via the General Fund and New Horizons CDC would be responsible for paying the $300 in rental fees and $400 refundable deposits for use of the Rodeo Senior Center.
