California State Fair with a booth in the County Booth section, by designating that 20% of any cash awards from the
County display will be allocated to the Brentwood Chapter of the Future Farmers of America and 80% will be
allocated to defray costs of designing and constructing the display.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No County cost; all services are donated. Any award monies are to be allocated at twenty percent to the Brentwood
Chapter of the Future Farmers of America with the balance allocated to defray the cost of design, development, labor
and construction of the display.
BACKGROUND:
In order to have a booth at the California State Fair, the County must get approval by their Board of Supervisors.
