DISCUSSION The Fiestas patrias Event has been a positive, community event supported by the downtown businesses for the past sixteen years. Last year over 270,000 people attended the event. This year, the City received several permit applications from a number of "downtown" Santa Ana community groups to sponsor the event. City staff has been working with these groups to help facilitate consensus as to sponsorship of the event. Despite a common desire to have this year's event go forward, the downtown business community was unable to reach agreement regarding the lead sponsor organization. In recognizing the great value of this event for the downtown business communi ty and the surrounding neighborhoods and wi th only seven weeks remaining before the event weekend, City staff is recommending that the City host the Fiestas patrias Event this year and secure the services of All Access Entertainment to act as the Event Manager. All Access Entertainment will be responsible to provide all the necessary equipment, stages, electricity, carnival rides, vendor booths, and insurance for the event. All Access Entertainment has provided exceptional event management services regarding this event for the last three years. 25D
