Please approve a request for funding for the Auburn Air Fair 2016 in the amount of $5,000 to support the efforts of the Auburn Airport Events, LLC Committee to help offset the costs of the Media Event on Friday, October 7th and the Air Fair being held on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at the Auburn Airport.

## Background:

The Auburn Aviation Association (AAA) has continually organized and produced the Auburn Air Fair on a semi-annual basis for over 20 years. This year, a new committee of talented community organizers has stepped in to produce the Fair. The City of Auburn has been a partner in this event in past years, and we look forward to a very successful event. Our Theme this year is, “Uniting the Generations”.

We are currently in talks with Sierra College and William Jessup University to have a STEM Center with our hopes to have drones, robots, navigation, and other things manufactured in Placer County in the TGH Aviation Hanger. If we secure commitments from at least one college, and Parallax, then we will reach out to the high schools in Placer County to attract students to the STEM Center. The AABPA has also agreed to sponsor this event.
