BACKGROUND
The Westminster School District (“WSD”), in partnership with the WSD Education Foundation, recently invited the City to participate in their upcoming 1st Annual Pickleball Tournament. The tournament is designed to enhance community support for students.
The event is scheduled for December 8, 2024, at Los Cab Sports Village in Fountain Valley.
To ensure the success of the event and as a longtime community partner, WSD is requesting that the City consider sponsorship for the event. The sponsorship package has been attached to the staff report for review and consideration (Attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT
This will require a budget increase to the General Fund under Community Promotions: 75000-44020, Special Department expense.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed as to form.
CONCLUSION
The WSD is a community partner and has provided both in-kind and monetary sponsorships and support of City events over the years including the former Spring Festival, Fall Festival, community pop-ups, the annual Tet Parade, and volunteer clean-ups and Earth Day events.
The City does not current have a policy regarding the handling of sponsorships administratively. Therefore, the Mayor and City Council are asked to consider the sponsorship request and provide direction to staff regarding the amount (approved by the City Council).
