For a number of years, the City has helped sponsor bass fishing tournaments in the Delta. These tournaments were originally held at the Big Break Marina in Oakley and then later moved to Russo's Marina on Bethel Island. The City has received a request from the Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) to help sponsor a bass fishing tournament in May of 2015. The sponsorship would be between the City of Oakley and FLW in the amount of $5,000. In return for the sponsorship, the City will receive the following benefits: • One full-page ad in the FLW Bass Magazine • Sponsorship listing on the FLWOutdoors.com website • City sponsorship mention in press kit distribution • City sponsorship mention in in pre and post event coverage In addition to the publicity benefits received from the tournament sponsorship, it is anticipated that the City will receive some economic benefits from the tournament participants and attendees that shop, eat and sleep in Oakley. However, Staff believes these economic benefits would be increased if the tournament were held in Oakley versus Bethel Island (there would be a greater likelihood that fisherman and attendees patronizing Oakley gas stations, stores, restaurants and hotel than if the tournament were held in Bethel Island).
