CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the Council Meeting of April 20, 1999 To:. Honorable Mayor & City Council s Approval: Henry Garcia, City Manage From: Dennis Morris, Human Resource Director 1-- ` Alan Denfeld, Recreation Services Manager Subject: Use of Fleming Park & Bandshell by First Baptist Church of Colton on Sunday, May 2, 1999 from 6:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Date: � April 7,1999 BACKGROUND: This is a community outreach event to include a church service, to be held on Sunday, May 2, 1999, using the Bandshell as the stage. The bandshell is a beautiful setting and background for this use. The church has the well-being of the community at heart, and they are striving for community involvement in their event. First Baptist Church is located across the street from Fleming Park, and all attendees will use restrooms and other facilities of their own organization, so that no additional restrooms will be necessary. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Since the park is maintained by Public Works, there will be no impact on staff hours. Park restrooms are normally open fi-om 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; no additional costs will be incurred. However, they will require electricity for powering their own sound system; as they are a church, no fees will be charged to the group (per the August 1998 Council directive regarding fee waivers). CUSTOMER SERVICE IMPACT: Attendance is expected to be approximately 700 adults, 300 youths (500 Colton residents). As a park dedicated to the community's use, Fleming Park seems an appropriate setting for a community outreach event. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request by First Baptist Church of Colton for the use of Fleming Park & Bandshell on Sunday, May 2, 1999.
