management practices and the ongoing COVI D-1 9 pandemic. If the Council determined to have the event,
d could be conducted asfollows:
w The three-night event would take place mid-week,when public safety resources are generally more
avai|ab|o, and traffic is lighter.
* Staff has tentatively identified December 8-10 as the best dates that would not conflict with
resources needed for the Thoroughbred Holiday Lights event.
° Police and Fine vehicles would transport Santa along the designated routes; the F<CP[} Traffic
Division has identified tentative routes that would cover various residential areas of the City.
° Each evening's parade would be drive-by only; there would be no stops that might create crowds
congregating ino single location.
* No candy would be thrown or handed out.
K4o. Sasaoon informed the approximate onet for the three-night event would be 831.800. The majority of
the cost(approximately $16,500)would be in law enforcement overtime costs. She noted that these funds
are not included in the FY 2020/21 budget. If the Council determines to move forward with the Ho-Ho
Parades, a budget appropriation of$21,800 from the General Fund would be required.
Council discussion ensued on funding for the parade; routes of the parade; social distancing; COVID-1 9
restrictions; candy distribution; community engagement and funding for the parade.
Council consensus to not hold Santa Parade Activities for 2020 due to current COVI D-1 9 challenges and
budget cuts. City ManagerGiUison recommended the City Council revisit the possibility of having Santo
Parade Activities in the Fiscal Year 2021/22budget.
