Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In April 2024, staff from the City Manager’s Office began outreach to local businesses and select nonprofit organizations to receive donations that would help support the City’s first LGBTQIA+ Pride Month celebration. Staff received confirmation of donations from Amgen, Kaiser Permanente, and Peninsula Clean Energy. Financial donations supported key aspects of the event, such as providing entertainment, food and beverages for employees and volunteers, t-shirts, decorations, etc. In exchange for sponsorship support, the City recognized each business during public acknowledgements during the event and included business and nonprofit logos in all marketing material including flyers, website, social media, etc.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds will be used to support the City’s South City Pride celebration. Funds will strictly be applied for the South City Pride event and will not otherwise affect the fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 budget.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Accepting this donation will support the City’s Strategic Plan under Priority #2: Quality of Life. This funding will support the City’s ability to celebrate residents and visitors of all different sexual orientations, genders, and lifestyles in hopes they will feel welcome and comfortable in South San Francisco.
CONCLUSION
Receipt of these funds will support the City’s pride celebration. It is recommended that the City Council accept up to a $5,000 donation from Amgen, a $2,500 donation from Kaiser Permanente, and a $1,000 donation from Peninsula Clean Energy and amend the City Manager’s Office’s FY 2023-24 Operating Budget and approve Budget Amendment Number 24.056.
