KELLY, CITY MANAGER '�LIAM PREPARED BY: LINDA GARCIA REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE ARCADIA TOURNAMENT OF ROSES ASSOCIATION The Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association has requested assistance from the City with regard to three (3) mailings they would like to make to Arcadia residents in the near future. This assistance would be in the way of printing and mailing services for mailings that would be used to advertise several of their functions for the remainder of 1994. DISCUSSION The Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association is a local organization whose purpose is to serve as a public relations arm of the City of Arcadia. Their primary means of promoting the community of Arcadia is through participation in the annual Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena with a City of Arcadia float. For your information, the City has had a float in said parade every year since 1915, with the Tournament of Roses Association sponsoring the float since 1966. The Tournament of Roses Association has received funding from the City in the past; the most recent being a $3,000 payment in FY1975 -1976 for funding of the float. The Tournament of Roses Association recently requested financial support from the City in the amount of $13,250. However, during the recent budget deliberations, they withdrew their request as a way of helping the City balance its FY1994 -1995 budget. Since that time, and at their request, staff has had informal discussions with members of the Tournament of Roses about the possibility of providing other, indirect support. LASER IMAGED n Mayor and Members of the City Council September 6, 1994 Page 2 E5 We have received the attached request from the Tournament of Roses for assistance with three mailings they would like to make to Arcadia residents to publicize the Wineshed Mixer, Coronation Ball, Float Preview Party, the Workout Breakfast and to provide some general information on Tournament of Roses membership. The Association would like the mailings to go to as many Arcadia residents as possible with the Association providing one -color camera -ready art for an 8 1/2" x 11" flyer and the City providing the paper, printing, postage and mailing services. The City would have approval of the content of the mailings. On July 5, 1994, the City Council adopted a Donation Policy (attached) which allows the City Council to authorize the expenditure of funds for City - related functions that appear to be beneficial to the community. FISCAL IMPACT The City's cost to provide this type of service to the Tournament of Roses Association is detailed below: Option A • 25,000 8 1/2" x 11" one - color, • 25,000 printed envelopes • folding and stuffing • postage Option B one sided flyers $624.00 772.00 400.00 2,550.00 Total $4,346.00 for one mailing $8,692.00 for two mailings $13,038.00 for three mailings • 25,000 8 1/2" x 11" one - color, $1,355.00 two sided flyers • folding and stapling 485.00 • postage 2,550.00 Total $4,390.00 for one mailing $8,780.00 for two mailings $13,170.00 for three mailings The prices listed above include delivery to all postal customers in the City. Mailing to residential customers only would save approximately $400.00 - $450.00 per mailing. M Mayor and Members of the City Council September 6, 1994 Page 3 M Please note that the postage cost was determined by our being able to take advantage of the simplified address /bulk rate program which is available to government agencies only. To utilize this program, we must either mail to the entire City, or to all residential customers, or all business customers and the words "City of Arcadia" must make up the main portion of the return address (e.g. City of Arcadia, in conjunction with the Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association). Using the simplified address system enables us to address each envelope /flyer with one of the following phrases (instead of individual addresses): Arcadia Postal Customer, Arcadia Residential Postal Customer or Arcadia Business Postal Customer. As a point of reference, the reason staff is suggesting using the simplified address system is because the Tournament of Roses Association does not have a specific mailing list they want to use. They are hoping to reach as many residents as possible, and since neither the Tournament of Roses or the City has a way to come up with an acceptable list of specific names and addresses to mail to, it was determined that mailing to all postal customers, or at least all residential customers, would be the best way to go (if, in fact, the City is going to be sponsoring a mailing). As an alternative, the City Council may wish to choose a particular element(s) of the above described options as opposed to sponsoring an entire mailing(s). That is, you can pick and choose any combination of the above components from paying only for the cost • of the flyers to paying for the cost of the flyers and envelopes, etc. Additionally, the City Council can exercise the option of providing financial assistance in the form of a cash grant in an amount of your choice. The Tournament of Roses Association would then arrange for any printing and mailing services themselves. With this option, the City does not necessarily have approval of the content of the mailings or of how the money is actually used. If the City Council desires to support the Tournament of Roses, funds would have to be appropriated from the General Fund and /or the Community Relations Division budget in an amount determined by the level of support. Please be advised that there is no money budgeted specifically for this purpose. The Community Relations Division, however, is capable of absorbing up to $1,000 toward the cost of this project out of its program expenses account. cm Mayor and Members of the City Council September 6, 1994 Page 4 RECOMMENDATION n The City Council should discuss this request, and if it finds that the subject matter of these mailings are indeed a City /public purpose, of benefit to the community, and the City Council is desirous of supporting the Tournament of Roses in this fashion, that the City Council: 1) Direct staff to coordinate with the Tournament of Roses Association on the production of the flyer pursuant to the details of this report; or Direct staff to issue a check to the Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association; and 2) Determine the level of support, and 3) Appropriate the specific dollar amount from the General Fund and /or Community Relations Division budget.

PORTER - PRESIDENT ARCADIA TOURNAMENT OF ROSES ASSOCIATION SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE SUMMARY We request support services to assist in achieving the goals stated below. DISCUSSION The Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association ( Tournament ) has been a community organization in this city, in one form or another, since its first parade entry in 191 S The recognition that the group brings to the city is well recognized. Historically the City had provided support for the Tournament in the way of direct funding. That process was discontinued at the request and recommendation of the Tournament when our financial position was very secure. Resumption of direct funding was recently considered as a budgetary line item during planning review. We then withdrew our request, in order to assist the City in its challenge to set realistic budgetary goals. In July of this year, the Council adopted a Donation Policy. The Tournament MRS, JOYCE MACARTNEY requested information regarding same. The City Manager indicated there TOURNAMENT COORDINATOR might be support services available to assist us In meeting our fiscal challenges; To wit, ( 1) Increasing membership ( 2) Promotion of fund raising community activities. 388 WEST HUNTINGTON DRIVE - ARCADIA, CALIF. - 91007 - (818) 445- 1400 - FAX (818) 445 -0273 En U We feel we qualify for this type of support, as we meet all requirements of the Policy; the benefit to the City is beyond quantification. ( Please see attached Fact Sheet). The Tournament therefore respectfully requests assistance and support from the City, as delineated in the City Manager's project outline and report. We feel that the " three mailing" level of option A would have the greatest impact and would assist in goal achievement. Also, as an optimistic viewpoint, possibly eliminate the need for support in the future. We ask that the Council review and issue decision, since major fund raising activity is calendar sensitive and time is of the essence. Thank you for your consideration.

"Donation" means gift of City funds for non -City purpose. "Community Organization" means service clubs, charitable /non - profit groups in Arcadia. As always, it will be the City's goal to expend public funds in a prudent and responsible manner. From time to time, requests are received from community organizations for the City of Arcadia to donate funds and /or gifts for various events. This policy formally restricts the City Council to allocating funds only for City- related functions. The denial of donation requests from community organizations shall be routinely administratively handled by the City Manager or his /her designee. If a request arises which appears to be beneficial to the community and is considered to be a City- related function, the City Council may authorize such expenditure. This authorization shall be an exception to this policy and shall require formal approval by a majority vote of the City Council at a regular City Council meeting. It has been City policy and shall continue to be policy, that in an effort to promote good community relations and in lieu of monetary donations, presentations of certificates for achievement and service will be made as they have in the past, as will the presentation n DONATION POLICY Page Two E5 of City plaques for special recognition. A guideline for presentations to the public and to employees is contained in the City's Commendation/ Presentation Policy. This policy is a procedural guideline and may be modified as the City Council deems appropriate. August 30, 1994 TO: City Council Memorandum FROM: James S. Dale, Finance Director SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing Certain Tax Rates for Fiscal Year 1994 -95 SUMMARY The City of Arcadia utilizes the Street Lighting Act of 1919 to establish Lighting Maintenance Zones within the City. The current lighting zones (Exhibit "A ") were formed pursuant to the Street Lighting Act of 1919 (Division 14 of the California Streets and Highways Code Section 18,000 et. seq.) to provide a source of revenue for the cost of power and maintenance. The City, by policy, contributes up to 50% of the power and maintenance costs, with the remaining costs collected from the property owner from funds derived from a tax applied to land values. The City also formed two (2) Parking Districts in the downtown area, in accordance with the Vehicle Parking District Law of 1943. (See Exhibit "B ") DISCUSSION The City has established five (5) lighting zones and two (2) parking districts. The lighting zones have been formed over time and differ from each other depending on the type of area (Commercial vs. Residential) and depending on ownership (Edison owned or City owned). Following is a brief chart describing the basic make -up of each area: ZONE OWNERSHIP TYPE AREA POWER & MAINTENANCE A Edison Commercial 60% - Property Owners 40% -City B Edison Residential 50% - Property Owners 50°x6 -City C City Commercial 100% - Commercial D City Residential 50% - Property Owners 50% - City E City Residential 100% - Property Owners LASER IMAGED The two Parking Districts were formed to alleviate some of the parking problems and to increase the efficiency of the traffic flow within the downtown area. There are mainly commercial properties within the districts. The Parking Districts are within the Redevelopment Projects Area and are located between Huntington Drive and Wheeler and bounded by Santa Anita Avenue and the Santa Fe Railroad. These districts primarily provide adjacent business owners parking facilities for their customers. Each year, a resolution is adopted to establish a tax rate for each district sufficient to recover anticipated eligible costs. A separate schedule (Exhibit "C ") is attached to provide expanded detail of assessed valuations, beginning balances, estimated expenditures and the proposed tax rate for FY 1994 -95 for the districts identified. Attached also is a report from the Public Works Director (Exhibit "D ") and Economic Development Administrator (Exhibit "E ") which identifies the annual operating costs, the cost to replace obsolete equipment as well as City personnel and operating costs. These costs serve as the basis for establishing the proposed rates. The proposed tax rates are impacted by the additional costs associated with major replacement of obsolete equipment. Where major replacement cost are anticipated, the proposed rates attempt to capitalize such. costs over a fixed period rather than recover them through a single year rate increase. Capitalizing the costs over an extended period avoids significant rate fluctuations in any particular year. FISCAL IMPACT The rates established for Fiscal Year 1994 -95 will recover the costs eligible for reimbursement within the established districts. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council approve Resolution No. 5816, fixing the tax rates for the City's Lighting and Parking Districts for Fiscal Year 1994 -95. Approved: William R.
