MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />MAY 5, 2022 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3 <br />Mr. Fulford did not believe there would be a large budget for the event other than certain <br />materials and planning. He stated that people will come if the information is put out there. He <br />suggested t-shirts for players, wristbands for performers, bleachers, and food trucks. He noted <br />that once the program is set, he could determine the logistics. He noted the proposed date of July <br />23rd, which would allow for that planning to occur. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath asked if this would be a direct partnership between the City, iBall4Life, <br />and other associations. <br /> <br />Mr. Fulford confirmed that would be the intent. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath noted that the Commission could use its marketing budget to help <br />promote the event. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director commented that there is not a marketing budget, but this would fall <br />within the community events line item. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu supported the idea and the concept to engage the youth in the community. <br />She stated that this would provide a platform for the youth that want to speak and have <br />something to say. She commented that it would be helpful to have multiple ways for people to <br />be able to express themselves. <br /> <br />Mr. Fulford stated that perhaps there is a sign-up day at school where youth could sign up. He <br />commented that this would be organized, and a set number of kids would be allowed to present, <br />and the intent would be to continue this in future years and gather momentum. He noted that all <br />presentations would need to be inspirational or motivational to keep it positive. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mui asked if the partnership would be 50/50 in terms of funding. <br /> <br />Mr. Fulford replied that he would contribute his time in return for the City pushing out the <br />vision. Mr. Fulford stated that he can bring t-shirts and those types of items as well. He stated <br />that if the City had merchandise it wanted to use for a promotion that could be included as well. <br /> <br />Chair Miller stated that the Commission can voice support and volunteer but would direct City <br />staff to go into the details and perhaps LCRA could also be brought in as a partner. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu commented that this partnership has worked in the past and she views this as <br />expanding that on a larger scale. <br /> <br />Miller introduced the following motion: <br /> <br />DIRECT STAFF TO MOVE FORWARD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH iBall4Life FOR <br />THIS EVENT <br />
