Presenter(s):
Mike Reid, Economic Development Director
Background and Analysis:
Historically, KXXO has hosted a Halloween event each year with the PBIA’s support. Last year they asked the Olympia Downtown Alliance to host the event but will still provide major promotion on-air and online, as well as developing a website and promotional materials. KXXO is requesting a $1,000 sponsorship.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
This is a popular event for downtown that routinely draws families to the area.
Options:
1. Support the sponsorship request of $1,000
2. Deny the sponsorship request of $1,000
Financial Impact:
Finance department is forecasting a 2024 end of year fund balance of $75,000. There should be no significant financial impact associated with awarding a $1,000 sponsorship.
