A. FEE WAIVER REQUESTS BY SAN GABRIEL LION’S CLUB – THANKS USA\nCARE FAIR AND THE OLYMPIA PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY – FREE\nCOMMUNITY CONCERT TOTALING $5,025 IN FEE WAIVERS FOR USE OF\nTHE MISSION PLAYHOUSE\nThe City of San Gabriel receives fee waiver requests for events hosted at the\nMission Playhouse each year. To account for Mission Playhouse fee waivers, the\nCity Council allocates funds to the rental subsidy account. In recent years, the\nallocations have been sufficient for the requests received. However, given the\nvolume and magnitude of the requests staff has received and anticipates\nreceiving within the current fiscal year, the current allocations of $10,000 may\nnot be sufficient to cover all anticipated fee waiver requests. The City has\nbudgeted $10,000 in its annual Rental Subsidy account, account #152-3532, for\nfiscal year 2024-2025 from which the waivers would be charged. The current\nbalance is $4,117. Should the City Council approve staff’s recommendation the\nremaining balance would be $858.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as\ndefined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends City Council grant a partial waiver of the San Gabriel Mission\nPlayhouse rental costs for the Thanks USA and free Philharmonic Community\nConcert events, in the amounts of $2,650 and $2,150, respectively.
