Consideration of Reimbursement for City Fees Paid for American Martyrs Mustang Main Event (Community Development Director Tai).
(Estimated Time: 10 Mins.)
DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION
As president of the American Martyrs Parent Association, I want to thank the City Council for considering our request for permit fee waiver relief for the fundraising efforts of our non-profit school. We are very grateful that the city has recognized non-profit educational missions with fee relief for events like MBEF’s Wine Auction and our Sophisticated “Snoops” Tour. As a result of Covid, and the passing of our parishioner Debbie Walmer who managed the Snoops Tour for over 30 years, American Martyrs School replaced the Snoops tour in 2022 with The Mustang Main Event (“MME”) - our school mascot is the Mustang. We are requesting that the Council would apply the fee waivers and discounts to the MME as a Legacy Special Event to replace the Snoops Tour. If that is not possible, we humbly request that the Council waive or a reduce the fees charged for the MME consistent with other fee waivers or discounts which may apply to other non-profit school and education fundraising events.
