CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS H1. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE USAGE OF EPICENTER FOR D.A.R.E. FUNDRAISER Staff (11) report presented by Jerry B. Fulwoed, Deputy City Manager, who introduced Mr. Sal Briguglie from the Rancho Cucamonga Rotary Club. (1601-04 CITY FAC) Sal Briguglio, 863 Antler Peak and representing the Rancho Cucamonga Rotary Club, stated that when it was discovered the D.A.R.E. program was not available at every school, every year because of lack of available funds, the Rotary Club felt they should become involved in some way so that the program could be enhanced to reach as many kids as they possibly can. He stated they are proposing a baseball clinic to be held at the Epicenter on Sunday, May 1, 1994. They will be receiving assistance from the California Angels, the 1994 Quakes team, and the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department. The Rotary club will organize the event and be responsible for the well-being of the children in attendance. He stated that all the funds raised from this event will be donated to the D.A.R.E. program. He referred to the flyer in the agenda package for further details. Councilmember Gutierrez asked how they came to pick that date. Sal Bdguglio, Rotary, stated they had to coordinate a date where the stadium was available, and they could get someone from the Angels as a sponsor. He stated they also want to get as many children as they could to participate, and since the Little League season has already started they did not want to conflict with their games on Saturdays. Councilmember Alexander what would be the cost for this. Sal Briguglio, Rotary, stated the Rotary Club was going to absorb the cost of putting the event. He stated it would cost each participant $28.00, and out of that $4.50 would go towards a Quakes shirt for each person. He stated they would have appropriate medical and insurance release forms signed pdor to the sign-up. Councilmember Alexander asked if they had any contingency plans in case they had more children sign-up than they had spaces available. Sal Briguglio, Rotary, stated they have space available for 300 children, but if they have a large number of requests in excess of 300, they would be look into getting authorization to utilize the softball fields outside of the stadium. Councilmember Gutierrez hoped that in the future they would be able to hold this on a different day of the week so that there would not be a conflict with church activities. Sal Briguglio, Rotary, stated they got a late start on planning this event for this year, but since they hoped to make this an annual event, they should be able to work around that type of conflict in the future. Councilmember Gutierrez thanked the Rotary Club for sponsoring this program, and felt it was a perfect example of the partnership they needed between the City and the pdvate sector, and felt this would be a great help in allowing the City to expand the D.A.R.E. program City Council Minutes March 2, 1994 Page 6 Councilmember Williams also thanked them for their efforts, and asked how secudty was going to be handled. Sal Bdguglio, Rotary, stated they would be working with the Sheriff's Reserves and the Bicycle Patrol as a minimum, and were taking other precautions as well. Mayor Pro Tem Buquet inquired of staff if there would be a conflict with any softball leagues on that day in case they needed to use the extra fields. Suzanne Ota, Community Services Manager, stated she did not believe there would be a conflict. Lynn Adams, 11229 Reflection Ddve, asked if they had considered contingency plans for families with multiple children, because the cost could really add up. She stated there would be people in the community that would be willing to sponsor children if they could not afford the cost. Sal Briguglio, Rotary, stated they had not addressed that issue as such because they had tried to keep the price Iow enough for everyone to afford. Mayor Pre Tern Buquet stated they might want to think about some type of scholarship program for families that could not afford the cost for multiple children. Councilmember Alexander stated they would have the full support of the Council for this, and that being able to provide the D.A.R.E. program at every school every year was key, and it would be a savings in the long term.
