Coachella council approves up to $10,000 for ‘Keys to the City’ recognition of girls soccer champions
Summary
Council authorized staff to plan a Keys to the City event recognizing Coachella Valley High School’s girls soccer CIF Division 5 champions and approved an appropriation up to $10,000 to allow flexibility for timing and production.
The City Council approved planning for a Keys to the City recognition event for Coachella Valley High School’s girls soccer team and authorized up to $10,000 in appropriations to cover venue, catering and contingency costs.
Staff proposed hosting the event at Veterans Park with a VIP catered area for honorees and an open area for the public; the initial budget estimate was $7,000 for about 100 VIP attendees plus in-kind staff time. Council discussed date and time options (May 2 was proposed), potential conflicts with a youth conference and the trade-offs of a daytime versus evening event (lighting and catering cost implications). To preserve flexibility and avoid conflicts with the youth conference, council approved an allocation up to $10,000 to allow for a late-afternoon/early-evening event or added lighting if needed.
Next steps: staff will finalize the date and time with the coach and event stakeholders and proceed with logistics under the authorized budget.
