The City of Commerce authorized a license agreement with Tehavi (Tagabi) Farms to operate a seasonal pumpkin-patch attraction at 5933 Telegraph Road, under terms presented to council on June 9.
City staff described the proposal as a family-oriented operation with rides, inflatables, food vendors and private security; staff said the applicant proposed a $60,000 guarantee to a community benefit fund and a $500 lease fee for the site. The operator would run the pumpkin patch October 1–31, set up starting in August, and clear the site by November 15.
A councilmember moved to authorize the city manager to execute the license agreement; a second was recorded and the council approved the motion by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The resolution authorizes the city manager to execute the license agreement on the form approved by the city attorney.
Budget and program notes: Staff recommended the agreement and identified the $60,000 guarantee and lease fee as part of the proposal; councilmembers suggested the city consider directing a portion of any community-benefit funds toward workforce training scholarships, but no specific appropriation was approved at the meeting.
Next step: City manager to execute the license agreement and work with applicant to finalize operational details; council will receive any necessary follow-up documentation per city procedures.
