TO:
Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:
Office of the City Manager
By: Shannon DeLong, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: DOWNEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT USE OF SHOW MOBILE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the use of the show mobile by the
th
Downey Unified School District for the Relay for Life community event on June 4 and
th
5 to be held at Columbus High School.
BACKGROUND
The Downey Unified School District sponsors the annual American Cancer Society’s
Relay for Life event at Columbus High School. Relay for Life is a very special
community event that honors cancer survivors and families that have lost loved ones to
cancer. Downey residents who walk to raise awareness and money to support
survivors, families, and friends affected by cancer attend the 24-hour event.
Communities across the nation hold similar events to raise awareness and fundraise for
the American Cancer Society. These annual events raise millions of dollars to help find
a cure and battle the disease of cancer. Downey’s event begins Saturday, June 4 and
ends Sunday, June 5, 2011.
DISCUSSION
The City received a letter from the District requesting the use of the show mobile for the
Relay for Life. The show mobile is available and can be loaned to the District under the
current Use Agreement between the City and District. The request is for the stage to be
delivered to Columbus on Friday, June 5. However, the stage set-up requires that it be
disassembled Sunday evening (it cannot be left open and unattended overnight Sunday
night), which will incur overtime labor costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Labor costs for the delivery of the show mobile during regular business hours on Friday,
June 5 and the disassembly and pickup on Sunday evening are $729.04. The standard
equipment rental rate is $242.68, bringing the total fiscal impact to $971.72.
