CITY OF VANCOUVER
OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
June 18, 2003
MEMO TO: Members of Council
FROM: Mayor Larry Campbell
SUBJECT: Sponsorship of 2003 UBCM Annual Convention
The City of Vancouver has been asked by the Union of B.C. Municipalities to be a partner in the 2003 UBCM Annual Convention, which will be held in Vancouver this year. The amount requested is $15,000 to be used toward the Welcome Reception, an event which will be attended by over 1,400 guests. It is traditional for the host city to contribute to this event. I WOULD RECOMMEND, as the City Council has done on previous occasions when Vancouver has been the host city, THAT:
The Vancouver City Council approve a hospitality grant of $15,000 toward the 2003 UBCM Convention, source of funds to be the Contingency Reserve.
Larry W. Campbell
