SR-304-002 (19) . e . 0-:1- FfB 141989 CARS:BFM:DM:lb city Council Meeting: 3oC/ - Doc- Santa Monica, California February 14, 1989 STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor and City council SUBJECT: city staff RECOMMENDATION TO WAIVE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING FREQUENCY OF RACE ROUTE USAGE FROM: INTRODUCTION The city's Event Management Team has received a request from the Santa Monica Kiwanis Club to conduct the Annual Santa Monica Bed Race for charity. While their route is on the city's official parade route, their event is scheduled during the same month in which the city-sponsored Annual 10K is being held. The City's Running Race Resolution No. 6688 (CCS) stipulates that no approved race route can be used more frequently than once every two months. The following report outlines the scope of the Kiwanis Clubs event and recommends that the city council waive the Race Route frequency rule and approve the event. BACKGROUND At its regularly scheduled meeting of January 24, 1989, the City's Event Management Team reviewed a request by the Santa Monica Kiwanis Club to conduct the Annual Santa Monica Bed Race on sunday, April 2, 1989 using part of the City's official parade route on Ocean Avenue from California Avenue to Montana Avenue. This event traditionally raises funds for the Santa Monica Red - 1 - 4;-..\-- . . Cross Disaster Relief Fund and will also contribute to the Kiwanis Club Charities. The City's Annual 10K, which benefits the Wests ide special Olympics is traditionally held in April (this year on Sunday, April 16, 1989) utilizes Ocean Avenue as part of the lOK race route. Based on Resolution No. 6688 (CCS), SECTION 8., no approved race route can be used more frequently than once every two months nor more than four times per year. DISCUSSION Because the Bed Race does support local charities, and is a long established event, the city's Event Management Team is in support of holding this event. However, the City's Annual 10K is also charitable and is a major contributor to the westside Special Olympics Fund. Both events are scheduled for April, two weekends apart. Staff's recommended stipulations for conducting the event would provide that the Santa Monica Kiwanis Club: 1. Distribute flyers announcing the event, street closure times and alternative traffic routes, to residents two blocks north, east, and south of the event route, as well as to residents on Ocean Avenue between California Avenue and Montana Avenue. Flyer language is to be approved by the city in advance and flyers will be mailed with first class postage. - 2 - . . 2.
