Authorize the Mayor to establish a City Council 2013 Fiestas Ad Hoc Committee.
DISCUSSION
In years past, various organizations have organized the Fiestas Patrias downtown festival, the
Fiestas Parade, and the Cinco de Mayo event, including the City, and have contracted with a
commercial promoter to operate the event. Staff will establish a community participation system
to ensure that all stakeholders including the Mexican Consulate, downtown merchants, property
owners and civic groups are actively engaged in the planning and implementation of the
activities.
It is recommended that a Council 2013 Fiestas Ad Hoc Committee be established. The Ad Hoc
Committee has served a role where decisions such as the formal approval of parade grand
marshal and selection of parade theme are made. The Ad Hoc Committee also helps establish
direction as to the development of these important community events.
