I'm telling you, the game is about the players and the fans. And in 2020 we just didn't have that opportunity. ... The city needed this parade.
State law requires applicants ... to pay the city's actual cost of providing the required number of police and other city employees necessary to ensure the safety of both the participants and the community.
The Dodgers were only too happy to cut the check for the parade, totaling over $2 million, ensuring a safe celebration and avoiding taxpayer burden.
The city's dire financial straits were highlighted, as city departments went at least $215 million over budget in the fiscal year, making this payment even more significant.
