Outsourcing 450th to Private Foundation -- What is the Business Purpose

Expressing the view that there's way too much transparency in the City of St. Augustine, some Commissioners want to our-source the 450th celebration to a private foundation. Nothing good can come from that.
It violates the Delegation Doctrine, which ways that core government functions can't be delegated to private businesses.
It promises to usurp government functions, the same as took place here when the state historic preservation board's properties were scarfed up by WILLIAM PROCTOR's foundation (only to be reversed as a result of litigation by John Sundeman and the State Attorney General).
