EXHIBIT 48a, b, c, d. Typed list of parade participants with handwritten notes from City Director of Facility Maintenance Alvin Au’s files, dated by hand, June 24, 2003.
The top of the page (48a) contains a note: “First draft Parade Line.” Beside each participant is a circled number apparently corresponding to their placement in the parade line.
First, this shows that the City, specifically Alvin Au, made decisions related to the positioning of participants in the parade. This is a content decision and goes far beyond logistics. Again, Au prepared this document on city time with city computers only three days before the ACLU lawsuit was filed.
Second, certain items such as a flat-bed (float) for Windward Baptist Church, a lowboy float for United We Stand, two flatbeds for Hispanic Music Group, and 5 cars for pageant finalists display a double asterisk (**). These asterisks correspond to the items that the City has indicated in other documents, and in statements at meetings, that it intended to provide for other organizations to use in the parade.
For example, Exhibit 12 indicates that organizations would decorate floats at City locations and that the City would provide floats and flat bed trucks and trailers.
Likewise, Exhibit 34 indicates that the City’s Department of Facility Maintenance will be providing boom trucks, vactor trucks, flat bed trucks and sweepers for use in the parade. In addition, Malcolm Tom stated repeatedly during Festival committee meetings that the City intended to provide cars for the beauty queens.
In addition, during the June 25, 2003 Family Day planning meeting, Mr. Tom indicated that the City would provide city vehicles for the parade, including city police vehicles, fire trucks and city trailers for use as floats, as well as two lowboys and three flatbed trucks to be used in the parade.
