DISCUSSION:
Each year the Truckers’ Parade in December is a large community event supported by both the private and public sectors. This event will be held on Saturday, December 12, 2020, in Eureka. Humboldt County Public Works employees are requesting approval to enter county-owned equipment numbers 94138 and 21616, in the Truckers’ Parade. Employees will volunteer their time to decorate and drive the county equipment in the parade and pay all entry fees. The employees feel this will be beneficial to the parade attendees as well as beneficial to the morale of the employees. The Public Works’ entry generally places first or second in the parade. Participation in the 32nd Annual Truckers’ Parade will be contingent on the event organizers submitting their plan to the Emergency Operation Center for review and approval and any recommended public health measures being in place.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All costs will be borne by volunteers from the Humboldt County Public Works Department. As a result, the recommended action will not impact the Humboldt County General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
The recommended action supports the Board of Supervisors’ Strategic Framework by inviting civic engagement and awareness of available services.
