City Council Consent Agenda Item VII.F
Cancellation of the Litchfield
COMMUNICATION Park Gathering Event
To: Mayor Thomas L. Schoaf and Members of the City Council
From: Tricia Kramer, Community and Recreation Services Director
Through: Matthew Williams, City Manager
Meeting Date: 10/21/2026
Presenter: Tricia Kramer, Community & Recreation Services Director
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
MOVE TO APPROVE CANCELLATION OF THE LITCHFIELD PARK GATHERING 2027 EVENT
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Staff have observed low vendor interest in the Litchfield Park Gathering event scheduled for
January 2027. Staff would redirect Prop 302 funds from this event to the Spring Art & Wine
event. Staff are working on a possible replacement event.
Council had previously given staff direction to continue with the city traditional events in May
2026.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends cancellation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Loss of some sales tax revenue and vendor registration fees. Staff will save money on event
setup costs, etc.
