BACKGROUND
The Unity Coalition/Coalici6n Unida will be having an event on Thursday, April11, 2013 at 7:00p.m.
at the Art Deco Welcome Center to benefit the work of the organization in the Latino/Hispanic LGBT
Community since 2002. Part of the theme is marriage equality. The organization has reached out to
the City Clerk's Office to participate in the event by providing information relating to the City's
domestic partnership registry and registering domestic partners.
The City Clerk's Office will not incur any cost by sending two employees to register domestic
partners at this event (the City Clerk and an Office Associate V), as schedules will be changed to
avoid any overtime. Further, the City will collect a $50 fee for every domestic partnership registration
it processes.
We request that this item be referred to the Land Use and Development Committee in order to
obtain direction from the City Commission as to the participation of the City Clerk's Office in this
event.
