Action: City Clerk Hines read the title,and Cultural and Community Services Director Susan Simpson reported noting that this is the City's third year sponsoring the Festival. This year we are recommending a sponsorship in the amount of $5,000, which is the Gold Level sponsorship. Public Speakers: None Commissioner Scholl asked why we cut them back from $10,000 to $5,000? Ms. Simpson said that was the recommendation that she received. If you look at the sponsorship package, $5,000 got us everything but one other item that you could get at the$10,000 level,and that is the corporate flag display on the tower. Commissioner Scholl asked her if she talked to them about what their needs were, and she said no. Commissioner Scholl said they called him and said they felt they needed the extra money and they were wondering why we peeled back the sponsorship. Ms. Simpson said she wishes they would have reached out to her, she had not heard from them. She sent an email to them saying it will be $5,000 and not the $10,000 and she never received a response from that email. City Manager Russo said we went over this together and he had told Ms. Simpson that we should do the $5,000 because it didn't make sense to do more than that based on the number. He was looking at the global look at all the contributions we make. Commissioner Scholl said he was just looking at the event and it is very successful. Vice Mayor Aelion asked if we are just one of the many sponsors, and Ms. Simpson said yes, if you look on their website there is a full page of sponsors. We are also trying to stay within your budget of sponsorships which is $20,000 this year. Commissioner Gatto moved and Vice Mayor Aelion seconded a motion to approve the resolution. Resolution No. 2014-2243 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. 7
