RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration & Juneteenth Celebration Advisory Committee receive and file updates from the members of the Juneteenth’s Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Food and Non-Food Vendors.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
A subcommittee's primary role is to support the special event staff by identifying opportunities and strategies for enhancing the Juneteenth Celebration event. This report serves as an update from the subcommittee members on their progress and recommendations.
MCJC Advisory Committee Ad Hoc Subcommittees
An “ad hoc” subcommittee serves only a limited or single purpose. It is not perpetual, and it is dissolved when its specific task is completed. An Ad Hoc Subcommittee may be formed or dissolved at any Advisory committee meeting, as long as the discussion has been placed on the agenda in advance. Once an Ad Hoc Subcommittee has been created, updates are typically given by Committee Members. By consensus of the Advisory committee, a separate Agenda Item is sometimes prepared and presented on a specific Ad Hoc Subcommittee’s topic or event.
This item provides the Food and Non-Food Vendors Ad Hoc Subcommittee with an opportunity to provide a final update to the Advisory Committee on vendor participation for the Juneteenth Celebration, including the event caterer and confirmed non-food vendors.
With the event scheduled for this Saturday, it is important for the Advisory Committee to receive final status updates regarding vendor commitments, event readiness, and any outstanding items requiring coordination. This discussion will allow the subcommittee to confirm preparations are in place and identify any last-minute needs or concerns prior to the event.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this discussion.
ATTACHMENT
