City Attorney's Review:: 1 OF 1
It is proposed that the City Council retroactively approve aone-t e waiver of the site reservation fee of$845.00 for Ex-
Offenders of America Alumni Association for the June 4,2011 Stop Six Day Event held at Rosedale Plaza Park.
DISCUSSION:
The Ex-Offenders of America Alumni Association(XOAAA)is a Texas non-profit corporation that is recognized by
the IRS as a charitable organization. According to its Articles of Incorporation,the XOAAA is organized"to provide
direction,employment,counseling classes,religious teachings,education and assistance for victims and families of ex-
offenders." The group has requested the waiver of the site reservation fee of$845.00 for the Stop Six Day event that
was held Saturday,,lune 4,201 1. The XOAAA met all other special events requirements for this event.
The City of Fort Worth's Park Reservation Policy establishes fees for reservations of parks(M&C G-12180 April 07,
1998 and G-15881,September 25,2007). The XOAAA requested waiver of the reservation for this year only.
Because the Stop Six Day event served the general public by bringing greater awareness to the history and culture of
the unique and historically significant Stop Six community and providing an opportunity to bridge gaps and foster
collaboration among City agencies,non-profit entities,and the community,it is proposed that the site reservation fee
be waived one time for XOAAA's first official Stop Six Day event.
The XOAAA understands that this is a one time waiver and has expressed its intent to raise sufficient funds to cover
all fees in the future.
LEGALITY:
The Department of Law finds that this proposal is legal and that it is within the authority of the City Council.
FISCAL NOTE:
The Finance Director certifies that the approval of this Council Proposal will not require the appropriation of
additional funds at this time.
