FY20-21 Acceptance of Sponsorships and Donations Update.
BACKGROUND:
On February 11, 2020, the City Council approved Ordinance 20-169 outlining requirements for
accepting sponsorships and donations.
Under the new ordinance, Parks and Recreation will provide Council with a report, at least
annually, which includes information on the sponsorships and donations collected.
DISCUSSION:
The COVID pandemic significantly impacted special events and programs that would typically
collect sponsorships during the first and second quarters of FY 20-21. Special events and
programs were suspended for some time, with gatherings of large groups restricted. The Parks
