Mr. Pickering with the Alameda County Fair will make a presentation about the program to the City
Council and request a $2,000 donation in support of the program. All cities and communities in Alameda

Alameda County Mayors Conference, and the ACMC voted to support the program.
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the presentation and provide appropriate direction to Staff.
No funding for this program is included in the current year Council Budget, so if the Council chooses to
participate in the program, a budget change from Unallocated Reserves will be required.
