ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Council's Budget for Marketing under Contractual Services and Civic Contributions, under Sponsorships & Pledges. (Jenny Torres, Assistant City Manager)

SUMMARY:

Marketing Budget
Through the years, the Council's budget included a line item for what was called "Newspaper ads."  Last year $25,000.00 was budgeted, but only three (3) advertisements were purchased from San Luis News, Arizona.  In reviewing this item and the amount budgeted, it is thought it was intended for marketing and promoting San Luis in general. Staff suggests $10,000.00 be budgeted for this item.

Civic Contributions 
This line item allocates a budget to Council contribution to allow small public purpose contributions.  Such contributions might assist youth sports teams, academic teams, musical bands, or dance groups to compete at the state or national level and represent the City of San Luis. Each group contribution is limited to a $500.00 maximum.  Last year, $22,000.00 was budgeted for this purpose, yet the city has not spent that much on this program over the years.  Staff suggests $10,000.00 be budgeted for this item. 

The Motions
There are two separate motions on this Agenda Item one for each budget line item.
