We haven't had deep discussions about this, but I think we have a leg up because we have conversations about this with our hurricane recovery plan.
We want to work with the organizers and with the participants in the march to make sure it's a safe march.
We not only discuss the overall direction for next fiscal year, we come up with objectives to meet those goals. The goals haven't changed dramatically over the last few years, it's really the objectives that change more.
We don't want to deny them the right to assemble, but there are safety issues, and there are logistical issues. How are they going to get back to their cars? Where are the toilets? Are they going to be walking back to their cars in the dark?
My guess is that if the costs aren't too high and we'll be able to absorb them within our existing budget, the county manager is not too keen on recommending that we pursue reimbursement.
