| BACKGROUND: |
In its Regular Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Meeting held September 24, 2015, the BCC approved the request of the Gulf Coast Indian Association (GCIA) to use the Brownsville Community Center for a Festival known as Navratri for the reimbursement of the daily cost of utilities, on October 16-17, 2015 (Friday and Saturday), October 21, 23-24, 2015 (Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday), October 28, 2015 (Wednesday), and November 14, 2015 (Saturday). As a result of changes experienced by the GCIA, it is necessary to amend the Facility Use Agreement to reflect the change in the final date of the Navratri from November 14, 2015 (Saturday) to November 13, 2015 (Friday).
GCIA is a not-for-profit organization consisting of local members of the Indian community comprised of hundreds of business owners and professionals from hotels, fast-food restaurants, convenient stores, and other respected professionals from healthcare, engineering, and accounting industries. Each year, this community hosts a very religious and auspicious event for the community, known as Navratri. This event was held in the Brownsville Community Center last year, during the months of September and October, 2014. |
| BUDGETARY IMPACT: |
| The rate to be utilized will be the average cost of utilities for the Brownsville Community Center as projected during this period in 2014, $182 per day or $1,274, and has already been paid by the GCIA. The amendment will not present any additional impact. |
| LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF: |
| The County Attorney’s office has prepared the amended Agreement and it will be fully-executed prior to November 13, 2015. |
