4. REPORT ON CLASSIC CAR PARADE FUNDING - MAY 21, 1994 (RA) - File R-181 x R-140 #8
Assistant Executive Director Jake Ours reported this is the seventh year for the
Classic Car Parade and noted staff is recommending that we advance funds prior to
the parade to assist with cash-flow problems. He indicated this is the first time

participation fees are being charged to be in the parade.
Member Thayer asked if there was a guarantee there will be sufficient funds to
reimburse the City, and do we have first priority on receiving money? Mr. Ours
answered there is no guarantee we will be paid back, but it is certainly the intent.
Greg Borrelli, parade organizer, explained the parade has been structured to create
less of a traffic hardship by splitting the attendees, half being in the parade and
the other half "Show and Shine" participants. He stated the charge is $10 per car,
with 300 cars being solicited. T-shirts will be $12, giving a $7 profit per shirt,
plus the Marin Coupe and Roadster Club will also sell T-shirts and split the profit.
Mr. Borrelli pointed out that the Business Improvement District has been looking
for a signature event, and he believes this event has that potential. He stated his
goal is that this event will be both self-sufficient and a source of commerce for
the City. Mr. Borrelli indicated that a gentleman from Reno who stages a $60
million event there in August will be attending our Classic Car Parade. He stated
that both San Rafael Lions Clubs have volunteered to be parade monitors which will
ease the burden on the Police Department.
Member Thayer stated this event has been fantastic in the past.
Member Heller asked who is Mike Bartel and what is the $800 for as shown on the
Expenses Sheet? Mr. Borrelli answered that Mike Bartel has a review of live music
and impersonations and will be performing in addition to Disc Jockey, Gary Mora.
Chairman Boro commented that the event in Reno has become its biggest annual event
with 3500 cars, and he believes our event has potential to grow.
Member Cohen stated this is a wonderful event and deserves our support even if it
does not return all advanced monies.
Member Cohen moved and Member Thayer seconded, to accept the report and approve the
initial funding as requested.
