Summary Explanation/Background
It has been the County’s practice to sponsor events hosted by, or benefiting, charitable organizations in the community, including such events that recognize County programs, officials, or employees. For larger events, an agenda item is brought to the Board to formalize the County’s sponsorship. The County also receives frequent requests or invitations to sponsor smaller events, often without sufficient advance notice to provide for formal Board approval of the County’s sponsorship.
If approved by the Board, this item would authorize the County Administrator to approve expenditure of County funds for the sponsorship, subject to availability of existing budgeted funds, of the described events and to execute agreements related to such sponsorship, subject to review and approval as to legal sufficiency by the Office of the County Attorney.
Source of Additional Information
None.
