[x| ACTION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive individual donations of cash cards and product in support of the July 12, 2008 -
Carlsbad Health Expo and July 13, 2008 - 27th Annual Triathlon and recommend acceptance by
the City Manager.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Recreation Department hosted their Health and Wellness Weekend during the weekend of
July 12th. On Saturday, July 12th, the Recreation Department held a Health Expo that attracted
over 48 vendors. The event provided an opportunity for vendors to give out information on their
products and services, and hold demonstrations/seminars and health screenings throughout the
day. There was an estimated attendance of 700 participants that enjoyed learning more about
health and wellness, and getting tips on how to conquer the upcoming Triathlon course.
On Sunday, July 13th, the Triathlon held its 27th annual race with over 940 entries in the race.
Participants enjoyed the calm ocean swim and then following the coastline of Carlsbad, past our
scenic beaches, lagoons and wildlife preserve while participating in the bike and run portion of
the course. Participants and spectators enjoyed the great customer service that staff provided
with the aid of over 200 volunteers.
In order to continue hosting this healthy weekend staff seeks support from various businesses
for finish line refreshments to replenish the athletes after the race. Several businesses
supported the event with in-kind donations at a fair market value of one thousand one hundred
seven dollars ($1,107).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost associated with the donated products for prizes helped offset the actual cost of
providing this special event. Letters of appreciation have already been sent on behalf of the
Recreation Department and the City of Carlsbad to these organizations.
