10.c Taco Daze Security and Portable Toilets Staff Report
Date of Meeting: May 21, 2024
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Kyle Morell, City Administrator
Subject: Taco Daze Security and Portable Toilets
Background:
Last year, the Lions Club asked the City to cover the cost of security and portable toilets for Taco
Daze. I agreed, not realizing that the City had not done this before. The cost to the City for these
services is shown below.
In 2023, the City paid these costs directly to the vendors:
LRS Portable Toilets $1,309
Security $ 650
TOTAL $1,959
In the past, the Council has agreed to reimburse the Lions Club up to $2,500 for these services. In
2023, the City paid the vendors directly out of the Parks Fund.
Issue:
Should the Council commit to paying for the portable toilets and security for Taco Daze in 2024?
Fiscal Impact:
The Lions Club is again requesting that the City cover the costs of public safety (off-duty deputies
and vehicles) and portable toilets. The expenses will be paid from the Parks Fund.
Options:
1. Approve the City paying for security and portable toilets for Taco Daze
2. Deny the Lions Club's request for the City to cover the cost of security and portable
toilets for Taco Daze.
Recommendation:
Option 1
