CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: June 7, 2011
Subject
Consider cosponsoring and granting a fee waiver to the United States Army for an event to be held on
June 14, 2011.
Recommended Action:
Approve requested fee waiver of $320.
Description:
The Continental Army was established 236 years ago.
The Army has requested use of the Quinlan Community Center Terrace and Social Room for
four hours on June 14, 2011, in order to hold a community celebration of its 236th birthday and
to conduct a meeting of its Silicon Valley Citizens Advisory Board.
Discussion:
The Army was established to defend the colonies and secure their independence. Over the years
the nature of military service, and of the families of those who serve, has changed profoundly.
Families of soldiers that once lived on base, now live throughout our community.
In addition to recognizing those who serve our nation as part of an all-volunteer army, the
proposed celebration and ceremony will be followed by a public meeting at which the Army will
solicit public input and participation in an ongoing effort to support its soldiers, their families,
and the communities in which they live.
