DATE: I 4/18/05 RECEIPT OF SPONSORSHIP DONATION I STAFF: I ELLIOTT I El I I I RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive cash in support of the January 29,2005 Amps, Ramps and Art - Teen Expo special event and recommend acceptance by the City Council. ITEM EXPLANATION: It is the mission of the Carlsbad Recreation Department to provide a fun and safe recreational environment for the teens of the City of Carlsbad. With that in mind, the Special Events section developed the Amps, Ramps & Arts - Teen Expo so the teens would have an avenue to express themselves in a positive manner. In order to reduce the cost to the City and form a partnership with community businesses a sponsorship program was created. The department negotiated with EarthProducts' Audio, a company that produces skateboarding equipment, to be the Presenting Sponsor. The City received $2,000 for Audio's involvement. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost associated with the sponsorship offset the actual cost of providing this special event by $2,000 that would otherwise be required of the General Fund. The check has been deposited into the Recreation Special Events account #001-4524-5054. Letters of appreciation have already been sent on behalf of the Recreation Department and the City of Carlsbad to EarthProducts' Audio company. EXHIBITS: NONE
