Charitable Fund in support of the Music + Market in the Park series for 2026.
Background Information:Staff submitted a donation request to the Ruth and George Doffing
Charitable Fund to support the Music + Market in the Park series. Based on community feedback, staff
expanded the series, offering a total of twelve shows, from June to September on Thursday evenings.
Staff recommends consideration and acceptance of the monetary sponsorship to continue to support the
expanded series.
Financial Impact:Staff will continue to include donations as a revenue item as part of the budget
process to offset programming costs. This donation is additive and should not replace the City’s separate
allocation for Rotary Pavilion programming. Any unused dollars will be used for future Music + Market in
the Park events.
