LEISURE SERVICES DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

MEMO TO:
City Council
MEMO FROM:
Jay Winzenz, Assistant City Manager/Dir of Admin Services
SUBJECT:
Change in Financial Gain Request for Janesville Nighthawks
________________________________________________________________
The Janesville Nighthawks originally planned to have a fundraiser for Project
16:49, but will now conduct the event as a fundraiser for their own non-profit
organization. The Nighthawk administrator was recently hospitalized and
unavailable for over 2 weeks, so the Project 16:49 group decided there wasn’t
enough time to properly plan the event.
The Nighthawks have submitted a new application for public event and a new
park layout map, which is attached. The event will be on a much smaller scale,
and they will be applying for a temporary beer permit.

LEISURE SERVICES DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
April 18, 201
TO: City Council
FROM: Shelley Slapak, Acting Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Action on a Financial Gain Request from Janesville Nighthawks
Introduction
The Janesville Nighthawks Football Organization has submitted an application
requesting approval of a public event to benefit Project 16:49, which benefits homeless
teens in Rock County. The event is to be conducted at Monterey Park. The event is
scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 4, 2011, and is titled “Project 16:49 Family
Day”. According to Chapter 12.62, in section 12.62.02 of the Janesville Municipal Code,
the City Council must approve all first time special event applications involving financial
gain. Attached is a copy of the application and park layout map for the event.
Background
The Janesville Nighthawks have provided the Leisure Services Department with a
completed application, and a map of the event layout for Monterey Park. They have
also paid the appropriate event fee, and will provide a certificate of liability insurance
once the event is approved.
Staff Recommendation
Leisure Services has reviewed this application, and staff recommends that the City
Council approve the request from the Janesville Nighthawks Football Organization to
conduct a public event fundraiser to benefit Project 16:49.
City Manager Recommendation
The City Manager concurs with the recommendation.
Suggested Motion
I move to approve the financial gain request from the Janesville Nighthawks Football
Organization to conduct the “Project 16:49 Family Day” fundraiser.
Please contact me if you have questions or concerns regarding this event.
