SUBJECT: Waiver of Rental Fees at Lefty Gomez Field
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE AND APPROVE the waiver of rental fees at Lefty Gomez Field in Rodeo totaling $565.00 for the Rodeo
Chamber of Commerce's Annual Chili Cook-Off and Car Show on September 6, 2008 as unanimously recommended by the
County Service Area R-10 Citizens Advisory Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The function of the County Service Area R-10.Citizens Advisory Committee is to advise the Board of Supervisors and the
administrative department regarding the desires of the Rodeo community regarding local park and recreation facilities and
services, including the Lefty Gomez Field recreational facility. The Rodeo Chamber of Commerce is organizing its 5th Annual
Chili Cook-Off and Car Show to take place at the Lefty Gomez facility on September 6th, 2008. This event is the largest
community event held annually in Rodeo and brings out members of the community from Rodeo and the surrounding region.
Last year, the event drew approximately 1000 residents to downtown Rodeo, bringing needed positive recognition to this
community. This year they are expecting over twice that number, along with 200 classic cars and, of course, lots of chili.
The Chili Cook-Off and Car Show is the Rodeo Chamber's largest fundraiser. The money raised from this event, which far
exceeds the facility rental fees, goes directly back to the community for scholarships, to help local schools with their wish lists,
and to support youth sports and recreational activities. Through the Chamber's support of these activities, the County Service
Area R-10 Citizens Advisory Committee is able to multiply the benefits the community receives.
