ATWATER’S NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL TO VOTE ON $2,500 SPONSORSHIP FOR ANOTHER NON-ATWATER EVENT

The Atwater Village Neighborhood Council (AVNC) will vote on whether to approve a $2,500 sponsorship for a Silver Lake event at their upcoming board meeting.

The event, Silver Lake Jubilee, will take place on Memorial Day Weekend 2012  (May 26th and 27^th) on Santa Monica Blvd beginning at the intersection of Sunset Blvd continuing southwest on Santa Monica Blvd to Commonwealth St. Event organizers describe Silver Lake Jubilee as “Los Angeles’ premier music, arts and food festival.”

The event recently made news for increasing their ticket prices 300% - from $5 to $20. The Los Feliz Ledger reported on the 300% price increase in a recent article: “Jubilee” Ticket Prices Less Jubilant This Year.

If approved this would be the 2^nd time the current AVNC Board authorized funding for the Silver Lake Jubilee; in 2011 the same AVNC Board provided a $5,000 sponsorship. It is unclear what benefit, if any, Atwater Village would gain by spending community funds on non-Atwater events.
