During Council discussion the following comments were made by Council members: Councilman Yamamoto stated that he would favor putting aside a limited amount of money for use in funding non-profit civic events, and that the various organizations could apply for the funds to be distributed by Staff on an equitable basis. Councilman Brandt stated reluctance to get into funding of non-profit operations, but said that he saw no reason to charge fees for these events; that the fees would not offset the cost of the services provided; and that he is in favor of the present procedure with no change. Councilman Ward said that parades are excellent publicity for the City; and that he would like to promote these activi ties; that the City spends a minimum amount on parades com- pared to other Orange County cities. Councilman Bricken endorsed the suggestion of Gene Moriarty, Santa Ana Bicentennial Committee Chairman, in his letter of April 21, 1976 to Councilman Bricken, that the City provide promotion of civic activities in view of the difficulty that exists in securing coverage by the local newspaper.
