He read a draft of the letter that would be sent out for the request and asked for discussion from the Committee. (See attached) Ms. Coy printed out a copy of the program's policies and procedures. She said there is a lot that needs to be done to make this project happen. The Public Facilities Director asked the Committee if the VFW or the American Legion will be the sponsor or are they asking for the City to be the sponsor. Chairman Haskins asked to put this discussion on hold until they all have the opportunity to research the policies and procedures. Once the Committee Members are ready, he will ask for a meeting with the Public Facilities Director to discuss the project.

HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TRANSMITTAL COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 28 March 2018 AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Selection of Grand Marshal for 4°i of July Parade RECOMMENDATION: Direct process for selection of Grand Marshall of 4°i of July Parade. BACKGROUND: On 29 December 2017, Staff met with the Lions Club to discuss the upcoming 4°i of July 2018 Freedom Festival. The Lions Club has traditionally spearheaded the 4°i of July festivities in Riverview Park and the Parade. The City of Sebastian has been responsible for the pyrotechnics show and the skydiving exhibition. During this meeting, it was agreed that the City would take over the administration of the Parade, including the logistics of,same. Utilizing City resources, the City Staffs goal is to conduct an organized and orderly parade. Since the City now administers the Parade, the selection of the Parade's Grand Marshal is the City's responsibility. Staff requests Council direction on the Grand Marshall selection process. Selection possibilities could include 1) a citizen who is very involved with the Community, 2) a distinguished local Veteran, or 3) the City's employee of the year. Staff would make an appropriate recommendation for Council consideration. In addition, in previous years, the Lions Club has selected a small group of Judges to vote for the best floats in the parade. Staff feels this is not in the `participation' spirit of the parade and therefore asks to omit this competition from the Parade process.
