Commission reviews outreach inventory and $2,960.80 in remaining funds
Summary
Assistant city manager Phil Yerutia said the commission has $2,960.80 remaining from an $8,000 fiscal-year budget and recommended ordering promotional items now; members suggested alternatives including water bottles, fans, towels and pet bowls and discussed logistics and timing for orders.
Assistant City Manager Phil Yerutia told the commission that inventory is low—fewer than 50 pins remain and constitution booklets are out—and that the commission has $2,960.80 remaining in a fiscal-year budget that started at $8,000. Phil recommended initiating purchases before the budget rollover in October so items arrive for fall outreach.
Commissioners suggested a range of alternative promotional items to broaden appeal and durability, including water bottles, small fans for hot-weather outreach, dry-fit towels, reusable shopping bags, silicone collapsible pet bowls and temporary tattoos for children. Chair Korshara Prenell said the inventory depletion is "great news" because it shows the commission’s materials were used at events.
"We have provided a financial report, and at this point the commission has $2,960.80 remaining," Phil Yerutia said, recommending orders be placed this month to avoid timing issues with the budget roll in October. Members agreed to compile item links and proposals for staff to review and to return a recommended purchase plan at the next meeting.
