Summary
The Kiwanis Club, which has run the 28-year-old Holiday Parade, is bowing out, and residents — especially Mission Hills High band students and families — are urging the city to help save it. Council members stressed the parade belongs to Kiwanis, not the city, and agreed to keep conversations going, with the topic headed to council goal setting next year.

Impact analysis
Speakers suggested a small share of city revenue or city staffing could keep the parade going; no cost figure was set.
Band students, school programs, local businesses, and families who gather for the parade each December.
If the parade disappears, students lose their most visible community performance and the city loses a unifying holiday tradition.
