Subject:
Request for Civic and Promotional Funding for Fourth of July Celebration at San Manuel
Stadium
Financial Impact:
The total request from Civic and Promotion Funding for this event is $15,000 of General Fund
dollars.
Motion: Approve the Civic and Promotion Funding request of$15,000 for the Fourth of
July Celebration at San Manuel Stadium.
Background:
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department has successfully conducted a Fourth
of July Celebration since 1990. Over the past several years the Department has jointly sponsored
the annual event with the Inland Empire 66ers Baseball Club of San Bernardino, with activities
including a baseball game, youth activities, musical entertainment, and a spectacular fireworks
display. When the Team is on the road, the City has conducted the Celebration independent of
the 66ers.
This item has been approved in the past and was approved by the Ways and Means Committee
on May 22,2012.
ANALYSIS
With the reduction of staff and limited resources available, the event this year will be limited to
activities held at the Park. The 66ers Baseball team will be in town with a game scheduled to
begin at 7:05 p.m. The 66ers will share in the cost of the fireworks with the City and the gates
will be opened after the seventh inning allowing families to enter the stadium free of charge.
