APPLICATION AND PERMIT CENTER
DATE: MARCH 28, 1995
SUBJECT: AMBROSE CENTER CARNIVAL
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Accept staff recommendation that fees be waived for the Ambrose Lion's Club and Ambrose
Recreation and Park District Carnival to be held March 30, 1995 through April 2, 1995.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:
The County Administrator's office has received a request for fees to be waived from the
Ambrose Lion's Club and Ambrose Recreation and Park District for a Carnival they are co-
sponsoring to be held March 30, 1995 through April 2, 1995.
In accordance with County Ordinance 56-2.002, a license is required for such an event. The
fee for such a license can be waived if the event is sponsored by 'organizations whose
principal purpose is charity, educational benefits, civic purposes, or general welfare and
public interests." Both the Ambrose Lion's Club and the Park and Recreation District are
within this category.
Furthermore the Sheriff's Department in its investigation of this request found that no traffic
routes would be adversely affected by the Carnival's operation. The site of the Carnival will
be a vacant lot located at the corner of Willow Pass Road and Clearland Drive in Bay Point.
This lot is owned by the Park and Recreation District. Because of the Sheriff's staff review
of this event, there was no objection to granting a license and fee exemption.

Contra Costa County
Administrator's Office

Martinez, CA 94553
Dear Mr. Gregory:
The Ambrose Lions Club is a non-profit public service
organization dedicated to providing educational as well as many
other forms of assistance for sight and hearing impaired
individuals. The Ambrose Lions Club and the Ambrose Recreation and
Park District are co-sponsoring a four day carnival on a vacant lot
owned by the park district, located at the corner of Willow Pass
Road and Clearland Drive in Bay Point.
It was brought to our attention, in the past, by Supervisor
Tom Torlakson, that a license/permit issued by Contra Costa County
is required for such events. According to Division 56, Chapter 56-2
Carnivals and Fairs, section 56-2.006 of the county ordinance, a fee
of $75.00 is to be paid to the county tax collector for said
license/permit. Section 56-2.006 indicates that this fee can be
waived for "organizations whose principal purpose is charity,
educational benefits, civic purposes, or general welfare and public
interests. " Both the Ambrose Lions Club and the park district are
organizations which would be exempt under this section.
The carnival is scheduled for March 30th through Aril 2nd and
we hereby request that the Ambrose Recreation and Park District and
the Ambrose Lions Club be granted a waiver of the fees and that a
license/permit be issued for this event.
If you require additional information please do not hesitate
to contact me at 458-1601.
Sincerely,
Patti J. t
General Manager
