Commissioners send proposed elected‑official special event policy to workshop for edits
Summary
Staff presented a proposed special event policy covering insurance, liability and staff use with a 90‑day application requirement; commissioners agreed to send the draft to a workshop for further refinement, including possible budget/cap adjustments.
Staff summarized a draft policy governing elected‑official special events that outlines insurance, liability and the use of city staff, and establishes a 90‑day submittal timeline for event requests. Commissioners recommended the policy be taken to a dedicated workshop to refine approval processes, caps on contributions and budget line placement before returning to the commission for action.
One commissioner proposed placing the policy under the community grants line in the budget to manage a per‑year cap; another recommended specific ordinance language to exclude certain nonprofit contributions. The commission moved to table the ordinance and discuss it further at a workshop; the transcript records that the item was tabled for additional review.
