BACKGROUND / SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Special events benefit communities by providing cultural, educational and recreational opportunities that enrich
residents lives while enhancing the local economy. In recognition of this fact, the City Council has a history of
allocating funding to encourage and support special events.
The Citys recently adopted special event policy, City Policy C16-01, defines and outlines an annual Special
Event Support Program -- a grant program that provides financial support to event organizers in the form of
credits toward their special event fees (the City does not provide cash awards to grantees).
In the fall of 2016, the first Special Events Support Program process for Fiscal Year 2016/17 events was held.
The City Council awarded grants to three special events: Carmel Art Festival, Monterey Winemakers
Celebration, and Run in the Name of Love.
The second round of Special Event Support Program grant applications - for special events taking place in
Fiscal Year 2017/18 - began January 27, 2017. Staff sent the guidelines and application to event organizers
who had applied for a special event in the City during the past three years. Two ads were run in the Carmel
Pine Cone, and the guidelines and application were posted on the Citys webpage. The Carmel Pine Cone
also wrote an article featuring the grant application period.
The City Council adopted Policy C16-01 after the Fiscal Year 2016/17 budget was adopted. Council had
already allocated $27,500 in the FY 16/17 budget for fee waivers; however, a 9th District United States Court of
Appeals decision determined that fee waivers were unconstitutional. The Special Event Support Program
section of Policy C16-01, which complies legally, took the place of fee waivers and the funds that had been
allocated for the waivers were allocated to the special event support program grants instead.
Because the grant requests under consideration in this staff report are for events that will take place in Fiscal
Year 2017/18, the City Council has not yet budgeted funds for the FY 17/18 Special Event Support Program.
The Community Activities and Cultural Commission voted to recommend the following to the City Council:
Grant 95 percent of the special event fees to events with no income stream, like the Carmel High School
Homecoming Parade and the Sand Castle contest; grant 50 percent of the fees to off-season events (held
November through March, as defined by City Policy C16-01); grant 20 percent of the fees to events held during
the high season of April through October; and grant 5 percent of the fees to events during ultra busy / peak
weeks like the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Concours Week and the U.S. Open.
The Community Activities and Cultural Commission (CA&CC) is charged with reviewing qualifying Special
Event Support Grant applications and making funding recommendations to the City Council. The
Commissions recommendations are intended to help inform the City Councils budget allocation with regard to
fiscal year Special Event Support Grant funding.
The CA&CC took the following points under consideration when making Fiscal Year 2017/18 Special Event
Support funding recommendations to the City Council:
City Policy C16-01 states with regard to grant funding that the purpose is not to fund the entirety of an
event (page 12 of the policy). The policy further states that Grants awarded are not intended to cover
all of an Event Organizers costs associated with City oversight (also page 12).
To continue to recommend granting the total amount of event fees makes the entire grant application
process unnecessary; under those circumstances it would be less work for the City to eliminate special
event fees altogether.
City Councils set fees for City services. A City incurs costs, be it staff time, supplies, equipment, etc.,
to provide any City service; fees are imposed to cover the cost of providing that service. Fees are also
a source of revenue for a City. Fees that go uncollected in this case the Citys costs to host and
facilitate non-City special events - become services that the City must subsidize at taxpayers expense.
METHODOLOGY
The Community Activities and Cultural Commission considered two methods that might be used to develop
recommendations for special event grant funding:
With respect to special event fees, hard costs include items such as barricades, signs, staff time, event visitor
shuttles, and portable restrooms; soft costs include streets and parks, with the thought being that fees for hard
costs should always be paid but more leeway could be given to not charging for soft costs. However, the
disparate nature of the various special events and the locations in the City in which they are held could
potentially make for an unequal application of fees. A small event that uses two streets for eight hours at a
total cost of $730, for example, does not derive the same financial benefit that an event that uses Devendorf
Park for eight hours at a cost of $1,600 does.
Establishing a percentage that could be applied equally to all Special Event Grant applicants would be an
easy-to-apply option that could result in a fair and equitable solution with regard to the Citys allocation of
credits toward their special event fees. Fee waivers were deemed unconstitutional by the 9th District United
States Court of Appeals in part due to what the court saw as the potential for a City Council to engage in what
it termed content-based discrimination (i.e. applying arbitrary standards) with regard to funding special
events. Allocating the same percentage of grant funding to each event eliminates any appearance of content-
based discrimination.
The City received seven Special Events Support Program applications, totaling $58,616 for Fiscal Year
2017/18. Six requests, totaling $27,206, are being considered under this particular item of business. Due to a
request for multiple year grant funding, the Concours on the Avenue event will be considered in a separate
staff report.
Before City Policy C16-01 was adopted in 2016, the City granted fee waivers to special event organizers. The
current Special Events Support Grants program is still new and the process has not yet been fully defined.
Continued direction from the City Council will provide a more specific process going forward.
FISCAL IMPACT
Should the City Council approve the grant amounts recommended by the Community Activities and Cultural
Commission, the total Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget amount allocated to Special Event Support grants will be
$7,503 (this amount includes the Concours on the Avenue event).
The City Council allocated $27,500, originally to fee waivers, in the FY 16/17 budget. $20,000 of that amount
was allocated in the form of Special Event Support Grants to three special events in the following amounts:
The $20,000 in grants reflects the total estimated amount of special event fees that would have been charged
to the three events.

Over the past 10 years since the Carmel Art Festival has blocked off Mission Street between Ocean
and 6'h, we have streamlined the placement of the tents and the flow of tnflic to where all has been
going smoothly. The vendor who sets up the tents knows what he is doing, and we have not had any
problems.
Because w~ have paintings and sculpture stay up on the street and park at night, we have hired our
own security and, again, have not had any problems of theft, vandalism or weather problems (even
though we had a terrific storm pass through one year),
For the past 2 years we only had the festival on the street and not the use of the park. This has been a
big disappointment to many attendees. During the previous 4 years, we had live entertainment in the
park, sculpture demonstrations by such well known artists as Steven Whyte. People would come and
sit on the lawn and listen to the music, walk amongst the exhibited sculptures from many art galleries
around town, and generally enjoyed the park setting. Without any activities in the park, people do not
even go in there. That's why we would like to have the park again as part of the Carmel Art Festival:
so that the public can enjoy it.
We have never had any food and beverage functions, but this year we would like to have a Friday
11
Evening art unveiling" wine and nibbles event on Mission Street for art collectors who always come
by that first night between 7 and 9 PM. We have a tentative agreement by Pepe to devise an
appropriate function.
ONLINE PRESENCE:
The Carmel Art Festival, which is only one weekend a year (the weekend after Mother's Day) attracts
several thousand people to the event each year, filling hotels and restaurants.
Many come year after year. For those who need to skip a year, we have started ONLINE ABSENTEE
BIDDING. This was started in 2009, when we put all120 paintings that the 60 artists produce for the
festival on the website so that people can view them across the globe. Each year we get more bidding
participation. In fact, our ONLINE PRESENCE has expanded greatly when we updated our website in
2014.

RE: Proposal for multiyear grant for Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue
Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue is a fun community event that is open to the public
at no charge. Locals as well as people from all over the United States come to enjoy the fine art
that is proudly displayed in the streets of our Village. It not only benefits The Carmel
Foundation, a non-profit that supports seniors in our community, but the significant revenue
generated serves as a financial boon to our Village. With the extensive press received for this
event, this is an opportunity to showcase Carmel-by-the-Sea to a worldwide
audience ........ priceless.
We are fortunate to have such a world class event at our door step that lends itself to the
character of our Village. Now that it is 10 years old, we have a track record of being well
planned, well organized and top quality.
The Carmel Foundation would like to request a multi-year grant for the Carmel-by-the-Sea
Concours on the Avenue. Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

Promotions Fund" nor exceed the limits in the following categories:
Total funding for small-scale events Up to 60% of available funds
Total funding for all large-scale events Up to 40% of available funds
FUNDING
Grants provide funding support through a "Community Promotions Fund" for qualified events
to advertise and promote the City, and/or provide recreational, cultural, social benefits to
residents, and offset City fees associated with executing an event in the City of Carmel. The
purpose is not to fund the entirety of an event and grant awards may not cover all of an
event's cost.
The City expects to receive more applications and/or requests for grant support amounts in
excess of what it can provide. There is no guarantee that the City will be able to provide all,
C16-01
part or any of the financial support requested by each appl icant. Thus, applicants should not
make commitments on the expectation of receiving City support. Recurring events do not
automatically receive funding each year. Event Organizers of recurring events must apply
each year to be considered .
Successful applicants will be awarded grants in the form of credits toward their City fees.
Grants awarded are not intended to cover all of an Event Organizer's costs associated with
City oversight. If event costs (fees) are higher than the grant funding , the City will be owed the
difference. If event costs incurred are lower than was projected during the grant process, the
City will keep the difference.
The City shall retain the right to withhold or revoke funds where a recipient violates any terms
of this Special Event Support Program policy, or any special event permit requirement.
Compliance with this requirement shall be determined by the Commun ity Services Director.

Successful applicants (while grants are under review) will be expected to follow the City's
separate Special Event Permit process and submit all necessary forms, insurance and fees as
required .
Applications that do not meet the requirements and are not submitted within the specified
deadlines (see Table 3, "Required Timeline") risk forfeiting the City's Special Event support.
Successful grant recipients will be required to enter into an agreement with the City and
consent to the City's terms and conditions which will include language granting the City the
right to audit financials . The agreement will also include measurable objectives and
performance measures for evaluating an event's marketing and economic impact. Event
Organizers will be required to demonstrate how the event met, or did not meet, the objectives
and measures in a required , post-event report. The Event Organizers who are funded will be
required to submit such a report to the City within 60 days of the event's conclusion.
EVENT DETAILS

Attachment 3
First, thank you so much for being a partner in celebrating the wines of Monterey County. Guests have
thoroughly enjoyed the pairing of the charm of Carmel-by-the-Sea with the celebration of local wine and
culinary experiences for the past few years.
Second, we would like to recommend that in the future we pay 40-4S% of the event fees, with the city
waiving 55-60%, assuming there is not a significant increase in fees. Our current fee for the 2017 event is
$3,600. Under this arrangement, the Vintner & Growers would pay between $1440-$1620 with the City
waiving between $1,980- $2,160. This is significantly more than the $600 we currently pay.
For background and as precedent, in our role as a non-profit, and particularly a regional wine association
for the ABC, we are afforded special rates and liberties from public regulating entities. California ABC and
the Monterey County Health Department, the two main public entities with whom we receive approvals
both have special accommodations. The Health Dept. waives the fees for non-profits for up to five events
annually. This is done because they recognize that non-profits are not In the business to make money, but
to serve a larger community vision. We hope that the City recognizes that events like ours are not money
makers- we exist to celebrate and promote the region.
We have worked cooperatively with the City and local businesses for the past several years to create a
vibrant event that reflects the brand voice of Carmel-by-the-Sea. In addition to creating an experience
that is aligned with the brand voice of the City, we have demonstrated our responsiveness by adjusting
both the day (from Saturday to Sunday) and the event time (from 1:00p-5:00p to12:00p to 4:00p) to
make it more amenable to local innkeepers and restaurants.
For the 2017 event, we have paid to promote the event and visiting Carmel-by-the-Sea to over 2 million
people both in- and out-of-market using KSBW, KRML, Edible, Coast Weekly, Hearst digital platforms, and
numerous NPR stations with extended promotion through our and participating wineries' digital media
platforms. The demographic target is over 25 with an income of $70k or higher that are interested in
wine, food, travel, and events. The primary regions are Monterey/Santa Cruz/Salinas/Gilroy/Hollister, San
Jose, SF Bay Area (N.Bay, E.Bay, S.Bay) and Central Valley (Fresno, Stockton, Modesto, Sacramento). (We
did recently book tickets for a couple coming in from Washington state who is staying at a Carmel Inn, so
our actual reach goes well beyond the target.)
Please share this letter with the City Council and as always, let me know if you have any questions. Thank
you for your continued partnership.
Warm Regards,
Kim Stemler

Carmel High School is requesting to continue our tradition of doing our Homecoming parade down Ocean Avenue
and in downtown Carmel with the approval of the City Council. Also, I request, on behalf of Carmel High School
that the proposed costs suggested by the Activities and Cultural Committee be reduced and that the city cover
99% of the costs associated with the parade. Carmel High School would like to continue the long standing
tradition of the Homecoming parade, however will not be able to cover costs, as this is a new requirement which
has not existed for previous Homecoming parades. Carmel High School does not make money on the
Homecoming parade. The parade serves as a tradition that links all Carmel High students, past and present, with a
shared experience and celebration of our school community.

To: Steve Dallas, Mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea
The Carmel Art Festival is now in its 24'" year. Since its inception, it has always had
one venue for art buyers (historically at the Carmel Art Association and more
recently on Mission Street between Ocean & 6'" }, and festival goers (always in
Devendorf Park).
That is, until the use fees were imposed by the City, and our budget did not allow
for the approximately $10,000 required for Devendorf Park. Consequently, the
"festival" part of the Carmel Art Festival was dropped in 2015 and 2016. This
impacted us negatively as you can image.
ART BUYERS
This year we compiled a mailing list of those who bought our art dating back to
2013, and found that buyers come from all over the United States, some from
Canada. In order to woo them to come to the festival this year, we are inviting
them to a VIP Wine Reception on May 19. We have gotten a very enthusiastic
response. This confirms that we don't have a problem getting these art buyers
back year after year. They will follow us anywhere.
But how about those who come to Carmel because it's an "event", a festival with
live music in Devendorf Park, picnicking, dancing, sculpture to enjoy, buying
festival posters, HANG OUT IN THE PARK. Although some may buy our art, these
are really people who come for the weekend because they are attracted by the
activities.
Page 2.
What happened during the 2 years that we did not include Devendorf Park?
The first year, 2015, we continuously heard the words, "is this it? Is this the art
festival?" and "it used to be so much better" and similar phrases. They didn't see
it as a "festival", there was no focus to hang out at like they used to do.
Devendorf had been a place to listen to live music, picnic, dance, see sculpture,
buy posters and other logoed stuff.
The second year, 2016, we had a whole lot less people walking through the tents
on Mission street where the art is displayed. Obviously the "festival" goers had
not come.
But this also hit us in the pocketbook. We were about 20% down in sales.
These were the "cross-over" attendees, those who come not just to buy art but
also want the festival aspect of the Carmel Art Festival.
With this downward spiral, we had to make some hard decisions. We seriously
considered closing down the Carmel Art Festival. Other venues were considered.
When we then received the grant in 2017 for $13,000 to cover the "soft" fees
including those of Devendorf Park, we decided to give it another year and see
where it would take us. How it turns out, if we can woo "festival" goers back, is
anyone's guess, but we are giving it our best shot.
But it is obvious to us that we cannot continue the Carmel Art Festival if there is
no "festival" which means we need Devendorf Park.
Page 3.
We know and understand that the Carmel Art Festival has to pay something. But
we do feel that we should get consideration for a higher percentage since we
have the event the weekend after Mothers Day, not a "high" weekend. As to
Devendorf Park, we make very little money for us, yet it costs us a lot for live
entertainment, extra tents and stages, and security.

Carmel-

o{l,\;1!<
\.y: by-the-Sea Ash lee Wright <awright@ci.carrnel.ca.us>
I was very dismayed by the results of the CA&CC meeting on April 11, 2017. There was no sense
that the committee listened to any of the non-profits. It felt like they had made their minds up in
advance. There was no feeling they supported events or any sense of community.
All of these events lend to the quality of life in our community which is the reason many of us live
here. Smothering these events with fees will cause many of them to go away which makes our
community seem very cold and unfriendly. I urge you to take a second look at the real goal here
and support our local events in a positive way. As a taxpayer, my expectation is that you bring
quality, fun events to our community and make this a great place to live.
Specifically, the Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue has experienced incredible success
enjoyed by both residents and visitors over the past 10 years. For those of us who live here, it is
just fun to have this social and cultural event right on Ocean Avenue where we can interact with
our friends, neighbors and visitors from around the world. We are so lucky to have this world class
event in our Village that is open to the public. The Carmel Foundation is asking for your support,
because there is no admission charge to the public that generates dollars to pay your fees. We
would welcome the opportunity to put a perimeter around the City and charge a nominal fee. If
you would allow us to do that, we would gladly pay all of the City fees and could do wonderful
things for The Carmel Foundation. It would change everything.
For the City of Carmel it is an opportunity to showcase our community to the world where residents
and visitors alike can come together to see incredible works of art that have been brought to our
community from all over the country on that day. I had hoped you would be our funding partner.
The revenue stream you realize coupled with the worldwide exposure we enjoy from this event is
priceless ................ This event alone brings in enough revenue to fund the fees for all the
events for the year.
With regards to the costs, you just keep layering on more and more. Two years ago you added the
portable toilets for $4151 and this year adding shuttle costs at $3,000 and you are asking us to
absorb all those costs when you are the ones that reap the revenue from this event, not us. Most
businesses report a 30% increase in revenue, TOT is at a yearly high, hotels are full and at a high
rate, sales tax revenue is strong. As mentioned above, we don't have a revenue stream fed by
ticket sales. Last year we paid $11,167 to cover police OT and portable toilets which seemed fair
and we would agree to pay that again. But this year you are asking us for $31,000 with a $1500
grant. This is not something we can afford and we need our fees stabilized; they keep going up
each year..
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/O/?ui=2&ik=062c077935&view=pt&search=inbox&th=15b9d24509a4f76f&siml=15b9d24509a4f76f 1/2
412412017 Carmel-by-the-Sea Mail- Concours on the Avenue
The reason we asked for 100% of our fees this year is that we want to be treated equally in the
grant process, we have noted that others, Run in the Name of Love, Winemakers Celebration, and
Carmel Art Festival have all received a grant equal to the city fees for 2017 and we are requested
the same.
Last August, we had a meeting with the Mayor, City Administrator, City Attorney and the principals
of this event and there was a consensus that we should seek a multi-year grant/partnership. By us
having to continually come back through this process, it inhibits our ability to negotiate with brand
partners, secure judges, car entrants and journalists in advance. We are seeking a 3 year grant so
that we can spend our energies creating, planning and finding sponsors; this grant process is
laborious and takes away the time and energy we could use to focus on our event. But moreover,
the timing, a 3 year agreement would enable us to get off this cycle where we are at City Council
just 60 days out and have no permit and no idea how much we have to pay. It creates a lot of
angst. It would more efficient for all of us to make a commitment to each other for the next 3
years.
And YES, you should offer that to everyone! Why not? These are all long term events that you
can plan on each year, you know what to expect and unless the event is going to change in any
way, there is no need to spend staff time doing the same thing every year- that is where you can
achieve cost savings ....staff time. In my mind you should always be looking for efficiencies in that
way vs. charging non profits!
The Carmel Foundation is a 67 year old local organization that provides services that benefit the
well-being of our senior citizens. With over $300,000 coming directly back into our community from
this event over the last 10 years, that money helps us provide low income housing, a safe place for
seniors to go, socialization, lunch, a plethora of programs and activities and more. The City itself
benefits in that these are services you don't need to provide as many other cities do. We don't ask
you for operating costs to support the Foundation but we ARE asking for this grant.
Concours on the Avenue provides economic, charitable and community benefits while
maintaining the unique character of the Village, there is no downside. Please support our
grant request.

MONTEREY COUNTY VINTNERS & GROWERS
April20, 2017
First, thank you so much for being a partner in celebrating the wines of Monterey County. Guests have
thoroughly enjoyed the pairing of the charm of Carmel-by-the-Sea with the celebration of local wine and
culinary experiences for the past few years.
Second, we would like to recommend that in the future we pay 40-45% of the event fees, with the city
waiving 55-60%, assuming there is not a significant increase in fees. Our current fee for the 2017 event is
$3,600. Under this arrangement, the Vintner & Growers would pay between $1440-$1620 with the City
waiving between $1,980- $2,160. This is significantly more than the $600 we currently pay.
For background and as precedent, in our role as a non-profit, and particularly a regional wine association
for the ABC, we are afforded special rates and liberties from public regulating entities. California ABC and
the Monterey County Health Department, the two main public entities with whom we receive approvals
both have special accommodations. The Health Dept. waives the fees for non-profits for up to five events
annually. This is done because they recognize that non-profits are not in the business to make money, but
to serve a larger community vision. We hope that the City recognizes that events like ours are not money
makers- we exist to celebrate and promote the region.
We have worked cooperatively with the City and local businesses for the past several years to create a
vibrant event that reflects the brand voice of Carmel-by-the-Sea. In addition to creating an experience
that is aligned with the brand voice of the City, we have demonstrated our responsiveness by adjusting
both the day (from Saturday to Sunday) and the event time (from 1:00p-5:00p to12:00p to 4:00p) to
make it more amenable to local innkeepers and restaurants.
For the 2017 event, we have paid to promote the event and visiting Carmel-by-the-Sea to over 2 million
people both in- and out-of-market using KSBW, KRML, Edible, Coast Weekly, Hearst digital platforms, and
numerous NPR stations with extended promotion through our and participating wineries' digital media
platforms. The demographic target is over 25 with an income of $70k or higher that are interested in
wine, food, travel, and events. The primary regions are Monterey/Santa Cruz/Salinas/Gilroy/Hollister, San
Jose, SF Bay Area (N.Bay, E. Bay, S.Bay) and Central Valley (Fresno, Stockton, Modesto, Sacramento). (We
did recently book tickets for a couple coming in from Washington state who is staying at a Carmel Inn, so
our actual reach goes well beyond the target.)
Please share this letter with the City Council and as always, let me know if you have any questions. Thank
you for your continued partnership.

I apologize profusely. I had worked on my email letter for quite some time an had made several edits and versions. By
mistake, I sent an unedited version. The letter for your consideration follows. Please disregard my previous email, thank
you.
I would like to share a few thoughts since attending the very disappointing meeting of the Activities and Cultural
Commission on April 11th.
Ever since I began working on the Run in the Name of Love event, I was aware of the city's interest and vital need to
bring visitors to the city to support the inns, restaurants, shops, and the economy in general. Special events are the key
element in achieving this goal. Although my event is not one of the largest, my participants are from all over the state
and from around the country as well. Just last year alone, 128 cities and 15 states were represented. According to our
post-event survey, 89% purchased food or beverages in Carmel's restaurants and coffee shops; souvenirs, merchandise
and services were also purchased in Carmel. I am proud to report that 94% are very likely or likely to participate again.
Run in the Name of Love grew by 23% last year.
This event is truly a community event, unique and special, bringing families to run together on Father's Day and to
annually run in memory of a loved one. It is also the only sporting event in the city where 4 year-olds and 88 year-olds .
have participated. It is one of the few events that brings residents to the ocean to walk with their dogs with their friends
and neighbors. Carmel businesses have embraced this event and support it annually with their generosity.
The city reaps the benefits of 8, 000 beautiful postcards distributed locally and up and down the state of CA. Pre-event
TV, radio, magazine, and newspaper ads and articles promote Carmel-by-the-Sea while every participate takes home a
beautiful shirt with the city being included as a "sponsor." This advertising is worth more than we have received in fee
"waivers."
We have always paid the "hard cost," expenses incurred by the city.
This event is clearly not about making money but to provide a meaningful experience for many and to showcase the
beauty of Carmel. 100% of the proceeds go to youth fitness.
2013 - $3,400
2014- $3,300
2015 - $4,052
2016- $1,575
2017- $4,000
For the 2017 event, 100% of the grant fees requested were waived. For your consideration, I am proposing a percentage
of 75% in fee reductions for Run in the Name of Love. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Susan Love
Run in the Name of Love Race Director
I am not exactly sure to whom to address this email. However, I would just like to share a few

trying to make money, rather than provide meaningful experiences and events, I will seriously
consider bowing out as this event's the race director.

Hi Janet,
I will not be able to make it to the City council meeting in May because of my work schedule. I would like to share my
thought process with the City Council so they understand the reasoning behind the recommendations that the CACC
made regarding the Special Event Support grant funding.
One of the responsibilities of the CACC is to review the Special Event Support Grant Applications and make
recommendations regarding those requests to the City Council. As Chair of the CACC I take my role seriously and feel
that we need to follow the Policies adopted by the City Council. The City Council adopted Policy C16-01 which
eliminated "fee waivers and replaced them with grants. The cycle of the Special Event Support grant funding comes
prior to the City Council setting the yearty budget, thereby giving them an opportunity to adjust the budget.
It is the CACC's responsibility to uphold the City Policies and policy C16-01 states: ~rants awarded are not intended to
cover all of an Event Organizer's cost associated with City oversighr and "the purpose is not to fund the entirety of an
event. A total of 7 events for the 2017/18 Fiscal Year came before the CACC at the last meeting, and none of them
were new events (so there is history and data). However I was surprised to see 3 events that had never had to come
before the CACC to ask for funding.
The staff suggested two methods that the CACC might utilize to grant the funding. I felt that method two - a percentage
method was a good idea, which could be easily applied. The staff suggested that we equally grant each applicant 1/3 of
their estimated special event fees. However I did not feel that granting everyone 1/3 of their fees was fair. There are
many other things that should factor into the decision.
I felt one thing that could be a factor would be when the event is being held. There are times when the City is very busy
with tourists and other times when the City could use some help. In other words, peak and non-peak times of the year:
Peak being April - October and non peak being November - March. So if the City wants to bring in more events duming
the non peak months we should grant them a higher percentage. As a result, I suggested granting 50% during non peak
and 20% during peak.
But then there are the Ultra Peak periods were we find the City overrun with visitors. Those times would be Car week,
AT&T and the US Open - people are coming whether we want them or not. Events held during this time are sure to
have high participation. That is why we suggested only granting 5%. There are many groups wanting to host events in
our City during these Ultra Peak times (The Tour de Elegance is so happy to host their event in the City and they are
willing to pay for all the fees and did not apply for a grant).
Lastly I felt we needed special consideration for events that are basically for the good of all. These events are totally

free to the participants and the visitors/guests. These organizations do not charge people to participate or people to
attend. The two events for this grant cycle would be Cannel High School Homecoming Parade and the 57th Annual
Great Sand Castle Contest. Personally I would like to have the City cover all costs for these two events, however to
stay true to Policy C16-10 and not cover any event 100%, I suggested that we grant them 95% of their cost.
I feel our recommendations were well thought out and we tried our best to uphold the City Policies.
Thank you,
