RAN:lS Attachment TUSTIN "Young Men Acquiring Leadership Training Through Community Service" TO: City Council City Manager City Attorney FROM: Tustin Jaycees RE: Tustin Tiller Days Parade (October 10, 1987) Proposed. September 8, 1987 City Council Agenda Item. The Tustin Tiller Days Parade, an ~tegral part of this year's Tiller Days Celebration, is coming .up on October 10, and, as we have over the past several years, the Tustin Jaycees are pre- pared to devote thier time and resources to insure it's suceSs. There are, however, four major'Parad-related issues which require Council considertion and. approval. They are~liability insurance, equestrian entries, allocation of funds, and the proposed location of the Parade and the awards ceremony. The following are the proposals of the Jaycees on these issues 1. Liability Insurance - The Yacees will procure adequate liab- ility insurance to cover their own involvement in the parade while the City procures its own coverage to the extent that it may deem necessary. Note; this arrangement received Council Approval in conjunction with the 1980 through 1987 parades. 2. Equestrian Entries - Only th6se equestrian units with sub- stantial parade experience (i.e., six parades within the last twelve months) and good safety records will be allowed to parti- cipate. In addition, these entries, with the exception of the military units, will be required to provide evidence of at least $t,000,000.00 of liability coverage and sign an agreement relieving the City and the Jaycees of any liabilities resulting from their participation in the parade. Note: These equestrian requirements received Council approval in conjunction with the 1980 through 1986 parades. Note also: The same Equstrian Entries form and the same Release, Hold Harmless, and Indemnity Agreement (copies attached) required of equestrian entries in the 1980 through 1986 para.des will again be required this year. 3. Allocation of Funds - The City will provide funds to run the parade in an amount not to exceed $4500.00. It is necessary that these funds be disbursed to the Jaycees in the reasonably near future in light of the significant "front money" which is re- quired to put on this event, particularly 'for trophies and band judge fees. Postage, stationary, and photocopy expense has already been incurred in conjunction with the initial parade entry solicitation which we recently sent out, and that expense has been P.O. BOX307, TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA92681 paid out of the Jaycee general fund on a loan basis to the parade committee. Projected expenses include $2500.00 for trophies, $1500.00 for dand judges, and $500.00 for miscellaneous expenses such as printing, postage, celebrity signs, route signs, e~c. All funds recieved by the Jaycees from the City will be admin- istered out of a'special Tiller Days Parade account which we already have established to insure that all exDenditures can~ be properly and easily accounted for. NOte: Total parade ex- penditures for this year are budgeted at $250.00 over last year. This encrease is due to cost increases in insurance and printing over the past several years. NOte also: In our increasing efforts to reduce the City allocation, any unused portiion of the 1987 Parade allocation will once again remain in the Tiller Days Parade account to be utilized for future Parades. 4. Parade Route and Awards Ceremony Location: In order to better accomodate the current location of the Street FAire, the location of the Partade will not change from before. This year's parade route will begin at the intersection of Pacific and Third Streets, traveling South on Pacific to Main STreet. From there the parad~ will travel East on Main to E1Camino, turning North and continuing to First STreet. The parade will then procede down First Street to Fashion Lane, turn North on Fashion, and dispurse~on Fashion prior to the Fourth Street intersection. The lo~ation~ of the judging area will remain on E1Camino Real, as it has for the past several years. Staging for this year's p~ade will be on "A" Third, and Second Streets. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments on any of these issues, or it you require any additional information, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. The Tustin Jaycees look forward to working with you on the upcoming and future Tiller Days Parades. Sincerely, · ~ ~ Laura Drake Co-Chairman Tustin Tiller Da~s Parade Committee 837-5070
