ITEM EXPLANATION :
As part of their continued support of Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, and in preparation of the
completion of the barn theater project, the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc. have provided the
financial support to produce an updated introductory video. This video will be played for all
guests attending the park in what will become the new visitor center. The expected completion
date for the new barn theater/visitor center is Spring 2011.
Parks & Recreation staff was presented with a donation to the Carrillo Ranch Trust Fund from the
Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc. in the amount of $15,000 to be used for production of a new
introductory video. This media, sponsored exclusively by the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc. will
be approximately 12 minutes in length. This updated presentation will highlight the history of the
parks historical land use, discuss Mr. Carrillo's life and legacy, and talk about developments in
the park including completion of projects as originally identified in the master plan.
At the request of the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc., sponsorship and funding credit recognizing
the Friends would be provided at either the beginning or end of the video. The Parks and
Recreation Department would provide copies of the final product to the Friends with permission to
distribute on a limited basis to select members of their organization. Finally, the Friends would be
indemnified against any actions arising out of the production of this video. With the assistance of
the City Attorney's office, a written agreement has been drafted, signed by both parties, and will
be included as an exhibit to the Council agenda bill. Staff believes these requests are amenable
and recommend receipt of donation and acceptance by City Council.

support of the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc. A letter of appreciation has been sent on behalf of
the Parks and Recreation Department to express our gratitude.
