DEPT. *RI-C APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. c18-3 38 accepting $1500 in donations for the 1998 Sister City
Committee Student Ambassador Program and appropriate funds for the reimbursement
of the related airfare expenses of Carlsbad Student Ambassador to Karlovy Vary,
Susanna Samaniego and other Student Ambassador Program expenses.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The Sister City Committee designates Student Ambassadors for educational exchanges
with Carlsbad’s sister cities and requires these students to raise money equal to the
cost of airfare to the host city. The Committee provides $100 in funds for additional
expenses and health insurance coverage for Student Ambassadors during the period of
travel.
Carlsbad resident Susanna Samaniego was designated as a Student Ambassador to
Karlovy Vary in February 1998 by unanimous approval of the Sister City Committee,
based on her exemplary academic standing and community involvement. She
successfully raised the full amount of funding required. Major donors were Mr. Greg
Provenzano, owner of Insight Electronics, and Mr. and Mrs. John Quinn. Each donor
contributed $500 and received acknowledgement and thanks from the Student
Ambassador and from the Sister City Committee. Susanna Samaniego visited Karlovy
Vary in July 1998 and was the guest of the Scherhauferova family for two weeks. Ms.
Samaniego returned with Lucie Scherhauferova, who was Karlovy Vary’s Student
Ambassador to Carlsbad and stayed here with the Samaniego and Zeller families for
three weeks. The airfare was purchased in April of 1998 by Ms. Samaniego to receive
the most economical ticket. The contributions accepted will reimburse Ms. Samaniego
for this airfare.
FISCAL IMPACT
The donated amount of $1,500 will be placed in the Sister City donations account and is
to be appropriated for the airfare reimbursement to Susanna Samaniego and other
Student Ambassador Program expenses.
