BACKGROUND / SUMMARY
As part of the celebration of the Citys 100th year anniversary, the Centennial Committee planned a sequence
of events and activities throughout the year, the culmination of which was the Centennial Parade, luncheon
and street dance on October 29, 2016.
The Centennial Committee members have been working throughout the year to secure sponsors for the
Centennial festivities: at the July 12, 2016 meeting Council adopted a resolution accepting donations for the
Centennial Parade floats totaling $51,000. The City has also incurred other expenses related to the Centennial
celebrations, particularly with respect to the parade, luncheon and street dance. The additional $11,600 in
donations secured by the Centennial Committee will be used to offset some of those costs.
Per City Policy C89-41, All donations and gifts with a value in excess of $1,000 must be approved and
accepted by a resolution of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The donations will be used to offset the costs incurred by the City for the Centennial celebrations.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Council adopted resolution 2005-14 on 1 March 2005 revising Policy No. C89-41, Acceptance of Donations

and Gifts to the City, including Bench Donation Guidelines. The policy revision increased the threshold for
donation value requiring City Council approval from $500 to $1,000.
At the July 12, 2016 meeting the City Council adopted a resolution accepting donations for the Centennial
Parade floats totaling $51,000.
