ITEM 19.1
FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. A co. mr~unity volunteer committee is
planning a "Salute to the Troops" celebration at Lake Poway on July Fourth.
Additional funds will be needed, over and above their fund-raising efforts, to
put on this event which is planned to include a fireworks display. There will
be $13,547 of non-personnel costs, including the fireworks and shuttle buses,
and $10,246 of personnel costs. Staff recommends allocating the personnel costs
from the 1991-92 budget.
Council discussed eliminating the fireworks display since that would eliminate
much of the cost; there are many other fireworks displays in the County on that
day; and Poway traditionally has a very large fireworks display during Community
Day in September. They also discussed development of a policy on community
events that would get commitments up front so the city isn't in the position of
spending funds that have not been planned for and budgeted.
Motion by Councilmember Higginson, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to
appropriate $6,000 from the 1991-92 budget for personnel costs for the one time
event on the Fourth of July at Lake Poway, and directed staff to prepare a
policy on city participation in community events. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 19.2
SUMMER BEACH BUS
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Council requested staff review options
for providing bus service to local beaches this summer. Staff has identified
four options, including a special flyer on the existing transit routes;
assisting the schools if they wish to sponsor a trip to the beach; chartering
buses and providing supervision; chartering buses without supervision. The
costs associated with each option vary and the City's insurance carrier has
recommended that if buses are chartered, the City provide supervision. Staff
recommends the Council review the options and give direction.
Following discussion, Council concurred to just do option one this year and
Councilmember Snesko stated he will pursue a more cost effective program for
next summer.
