CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
On October 28, 2000, the Red Ribbon Week Executive Committee is planning a number of
activities promoting a drug free lifestyle, beginning with the Red Ribbon Parade along "E"
Street to the Stampede Stadium. At the conclusion of the Parade at the Stadium, there will be a
Fun Quest 2000, a car show, health fair and multi-cultural family festival.
The Committee is requesting a waiver of City fees in connection with the event. These fees
include:
Department
Fees
Traffic Engineering:
$859 for barricade placement/removal
Police
$2,031 for personnel/vehicles/equipment
Public Services
$1,340 refuse collection/street sweeping
Parks, Recreation &
Community Services
$2.750 for stadium fee/stage rental
TOTAL
$6,980
Non waivable fees and refundable securitv deposits:
Parks, Recreation &
Community Services
$5,000 damage bond
Traffic Engineering
$U 50 barricade deposit
TOTAL
$6,150
The City had historically waived fees for this event from approximately 1990 through 1996. In
1997, their request was recommended for denial due to budget constraints by then Mayor, Tom
Minor, and upheld by the Mayor and Council. Since that time, until this current request, the
organization has paid their fees for this event.
Additionally, for your information, the Community Against Drugs Organization which is a
member agency of the Red Ribbon Week Executive Committee received $18,300 in the FYOO/OI
City budget towards this effort.

Dear Mayor Valles;
Saturday, October 28, 2000 is going to be a great day in San Bernardino! A great drug-free day to
celebrate Red Ribbon Week.
A number of events are being planned to reach all members of the community. The day starts with
the Red Ribbon Parade making its way proudly down E Street to San Bernardino's Stampede
Stadium. At the end of the parade, the fun continues with Fun Quest 2000, a car show, a health
fair, and a multi-cultural family festival.
Thousands of people are expected at the day's events. The Fun Quest 2000 Nutrition Olympics
features events like watermelon weightlifting, the grapefruit shot put, and coconut bowling for
children. The Red Ribbon Car Show offers an award for "The Reddest Car", along with other,
more typical awards. Information and resources to improve individual and community health will be
available at the Red Ribbon Health Fair. Music, dance, and storytelling will take center stage at
the Red Ribbon Multi-Cultural Family Festival.
A number of local agencies are partnering to create this successful day of celebration.
On behalf of the Red Ribbon Week Executive Committee I am asking the City of San Bemardino to
join with our many community, government, education and recovery agencies and become a
partner in making October 28 a great drug-free day for San Bernardino residents.
Specifically, we ask the City of San Bernardino to consider waiving all or part of the following fees:
o Stadium fee ($2,500) 0 Sanitation/Public Service (approx. $1,400)
o Traffic barricades (approx. $1,000) 0 Parks and Recreation stage rental ($250)
o San Bernardino Police (approx. $3,000)
Thank you so much for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions, please call
Committee Chairperson Joan Harter at 888-6511 x1579, or call me at 388-5777. The Red Ribbon
Week Executive Committee looks forward to taking part in fostering the community spirit that has
been growing here in San Bernardino over the past few years, by providing a truly worthwhile
community event.
Sincerely, FRED J-J:-cW - ~ )...!:>--b01f
