   Authorization for District to Co-Sponsor a Pancake Breakfast and Disaster Preparedness Fair Prior to the vote, President Cutter asked about the liability issue when co-sponsoring an event of this nature. Mr. Richards explained that District would be listed as a sponsor only for the purpose of showing unity between the San Leandro Community i.e. District, San Leandro Chamber, City of San Leandro, County, etc. and that the District was not providing any monetary support. Mrs. Cutter also wanted to know if the Board felt a policy should be created to handle these types of events in the future. Mr. Davis felt that establishing a policy was not necessary and viewed this as supporting a community effort to raise money to help the victims of the hurricane. It was the consensus of the Board that it was would not be necessary for the Policy Committee to look at establishing a policy addressing these types of events at this time. On a motion made by Mr. Davis and seconded by Mrs. Hague, the Board approved the authorization for the District to co- sponsor a Pancake Breakfast and Disaster Preparedness Fair on October 1, 2005, to help victims of Hurricane Katrina by a 7-0 vote.
