sr-072809-8b~~~-~ ~-~ ~r Supplemental Santa Mo~i~a City Council Report City Council Meeting: July 28, 2009 Agenda Item: 8-B To: Mayor and City Council From:- Elaine Polachek, Deputy City Manager Subject: Supplemental Report -Additional Information on Marathons and Half- Marathons Recommended Action As noted in the original staff report, staff recommends that the City Council assess the benefits and impacts of holding marathons and half-marathons in the City. If Council determines that these races are- appropriate, then staff recommends that Council provide direction regarding revisions to the provisions of the Community Events Law to establish on a trial basis the half-marathon .route proposed for the February 28, 2010 Santa Monica Half-Marathon in addition to the full marathon route proposed for the March 21, 2010 LA Marathon and designation of the south beach parking lots for licensure for commercial events. Executive Summary This supplemental report provides information regarding half-marathons that was not included in the original staff report. It provides information about the Santa Monica Half- Marathon tentatively scheduled for February 28, 2010, its proposed route and associated logistics and activities, benefits to the community, and discusses potential issues and impacts to the City. It also describes changes in local law and policy that would be required to allow such races and legal issues that would need to be addressed. All City costs and fees associated with the Santa Monica Half-Marathon would be borne by the race organizer. Council will determine whether marathons and half-marathons are appropriate races for Santa Monica. As part of that determination, Council will consider whether public safety and other associated race impacts to residents, businesses and .visitors can be mitigated sufficiently. Council might consider a limit on the number of races, or might want to accommodate all or a portion or one marathon and/or half-marathon on a trial basis and ask staff to return following the use of the route(s) and report on the impacts of the race(s). If Council provides direction to move forward in establishing one or both race routes, staff will return to Council with revisions to the Community Events Law. 1 F~d~I -'~ Cj- ~ Discussion Santa Monica Half-Marathon TLC MediaWorks, Inc. is the organizer of the Santa Monica Half-Marathon. From 1995-2008, TLC MediaWorks handled the public relations and marketing for the Los Angeles Marathon. The company was hired to launch the Las Vegas Marathon in 2005 and helped to grow the event from 1,500 to 15,000 participants in its first three years. In January 2009, race organizers met with staff from the Pier Restoration Corporation to propose the Pacific Coast Highway Marathon from the Santa Monica Pier to the Malibu Pier and back to take place in early 2010. From its inception, the event was designed to minimize the hours of street closures and maximize opportunities for the Santa Monica business community, particularly in this challenging economy. Race organizers met with key stakeholders including Santa Monica Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Bayside District, the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce to gauge their interest. They also met with Santa Monica Police Department, Fire Department and Transportation management Division to address their concerns and filed an event permit application with the City's Open Space Management Division and Caltrans in March, 2009. As the event evolved, it became clear that the best course for year one would be to utilize the existing 5K Ocean route (which would allow for quick re-opening of city streets) and head onto PCH via Moomat Ahiko to a turnaround at Sunset Blvd before finishing on PCH at the 1440 lot with the closing festivities on the Santa Monica Pier (Attachment 1). The event would only utilize the southbound lanes on the west side of PCH and a reverse lane will be created to allow north and southbound traffic on the east side of the highway. Street closures for the race begin would at 7:30 am and all streets in Santa Monica would re-open by 11:00 am, per the current Community Events policy. Community Benefits In addition to the half-marathon race to be held on February 28, 2010, race organizers are proposing a number of community pre-events (Attachment 2). These several race training programs for District high school, middle school and elementary school students and teachers, and a health expo at the Civic Auditorium in association with the Santa 2 Monica Chamber of Commerce, where upwards of 100 exhibitors will showcase the best of health and fitness. Race organizers have forged an alliance between the event and the Education Foundation of Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. The Foundation is launching athletic endowment in 2010 and will be the sole beneficiary of the Santa Monica Half- Marathon. Concerns and Issues Like the proposed LA Marathon, the Santa Monica Half-Marathon presents the City with public safety and traffic management impacts and coordination challenges. The proposed race route requires Caltrans approval to close the west side of Pacific Coast Highway. -When the event application was initially reviewed by the Fire Department and Police Department, both staffs expressed concern about closing Pacific Coast Highway and their ability to respond to emergencies. Police were concerned that the route divides the west portion of the City and does not allow for emergency services to cross runners' paths easily. Both departments shared concerns about the necessity to pre- stage personnel and equipment on the west side of the city to be able to respond to calls for service. There are significant costs that the City would incur to provide staffing, arrange bus re-routing and provide for public safety. Race organizers have committed to providing full cost recovery for all City services. While the impacts associated with the LA Marathon and Santa Monica Half-Marathon are different, the community would experience those impacts within a very compressed timeframe. The Santa Monica Half-Marathon is proposed for Sunday, February 28, 2010. which is three weeks prior to the LA Marathon date of Sunday, March 21, 2010. Like the LA Marathon, organizers of the Santa Monica Half-Marathon would be required to conduct extensive community and neighborhood outreach, meeting with neighborhood and business associations and houses of worship. 3 As noted in the original staff report, changes in the Community Events Law to designate new race routes would be needed as both races conflict with the current law (i.e., unauthorized race route, less than 8 weeks between races, exceed capacities for venues). Council might consider a limit on the number of races, or might want to accommodate all or a portion or one marathon and/or half-marathon on a trial basis and. ask staff to return following the use of the route(s) and report on the impacts of the race(s): Budget/Financial Impact Should Council establish on a trial basis the half-marathon route proposed for the February 29, 2010 Santa Monica Half-Marathon, all costs and fees would be the responsibility of the Santa Monica Half-Marathon. Staff would. determine the types and limits of insurance the Santa Monica Half-Marathon would be required to provide.

If Council determines that these races are appropriate, then staff recommends that Council provide direction regarding revisions to the provisions of the Community Events Law to allow for such races and designation of the south beach lots for licensure for commercial events. Staff further recommends that the City Council provide direction on establishing the LA Marathon as the first pilot on March 21, 2010. Executive Summary Staff has recently received a proposal to allow part of the 2010 LA Marathon to run through the City of Santa Monica as well as two proposals to run half-marathons through a portion of the City. The LA Marathon presents a unique opportunity for Santa Monica to be part of a world-class race, provides economic benefits from pre- and post- race festivities that would be located in the City and attracts extensive media coverage for the community. This staff report provides information about the LA Marathon, its proposed new route and associated logistics and activities, benefits to the community, and discusses potential issues and impacts to the City. It also describes changes in local law and policy that would be required to allow such races and legal issues that would need to be addressed. All City costs and fees associated with the LA Marathon would be borne by the race organizes Background LA Marathon In October 2008, representatives from the McCourt Group LLC, which acquired operating rights to the LA Marathon, met with staff and presented a proposal to include Santa Monica in the 2009 LA Marathon on Memorial Day (May 25, 2009) with the race ending on .Barnard Way and Ocean Park Boulevard. Staff had significant concerns 1 about holding such a large and impacfful event on a holiday especially when there would be the need for extensive street closures during Memorial Day weekend. Staff was also concerned about use conflicts associated with 20,000 race participants, thousands of race spectators converging with many thousands of holiday beach goers thus constraining the City's ability to address associated public safety, street closures and traffic management issues. Instead of concluding the race in Santa Monica, staff proposed beginning the race at the City as a way to minimize prolonged impacts on the City. However, an east-bound race route was not feasible because of its uphill slope. The LA Marathon representatives understood the City's concerns and proceeded with running the 2009 LA Marathon on Memorial Day through the City of Los Angeles. Immediately after the 2009 race, representatives of the LA Marathon asked to meet with City staff to initiate discussions on the 2010 race, dubbed "The Stadium to the Sea." The organizers met with staff from the City Manager's Office, Police, Fire and Community and Cultural Services to discuss a proposal to run the race on a Sunday in March with a route beginning at Dodger Stadium, proceeding through Los Angeles, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, through Santa Monica on San Vicente Blvd. to Ocean Avenue, and ending on Ocean Front Walk just across the border in Venice. The organizers proposed that the pre and post race festivities would occur in the south beach parking lots in Santa Monica. The organizers estimate that the race would be capped at 20,000 to 25,000 participants. Most participants park near the finish line and are bused to the starting line. Many participants and their supporters stay in local hotels. Race organizers noted that they had received route approval from the Cities of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills and will be on an upcoming Council agenda for Los Angeles. Discussion during the meeting focused on public safety issues related not only to race participants and spectators but potential impacts on the community at large. Both the Police and Fire chiefs raised concerns about the availability. of assistance from and coordination with other cities; the logistics and timing of closing and re-opening streets, traffic control and management strategies, parking contingencies, and resident, visitor 2 and emergency access. Community and Cultural Services staff asked about the extent to which beach parking lots would be used for the pre and post race events and what steps would be undertaken to mitigate impacts to beach and Pier goers and Pier businesses. They also inquired about the community outreach process organizers would undertake and how they would respond to questions and complaints before, during and after the race. As a result of this meeting, staff asked the. race organizers to provide additional and more specific information regarding the staging and production of the LA Marathon which was provided on June 10th (Attachment 1). Staff also discussed the proposal with the City Attorney's Office, which noted various legal concerns, including that current law strictly limits street races within the City and also limits use of beach parking lots for events. Discussion Community Events Ordinance The Community Events Law allows 5 and 10K races within the City and specifies times, routes and frequencies to minimize impacts. Current law also allows 10K races on a portion of the route proposed by the LA Marathon. And current law allows races on undesignated routes so long as most of the race occurs outside of the City as the LA Marathon would. However, the law allowing portions of races on undesignated routes only applies if the portion of the race that is in the City does not exceed a half mile, which the LA Marathon would. Council adopted the Community Events ordinance (SMMC 4.68) in 2001 to provide a process for permitting community events to use City streets, parks, open space, facilities or services. The City recognized the substantial community benefits that may result from community events such as cultural enrichment, economic. vitality and enhanced community identity. They may also provide funding opportunities for service organizations. The ordinance provided a coordinated process for managing community 3 events to ensure the health and safety of event patrons, residents, workers, and other visitors, to prohibit illegal activities from occurring at the community events, and to protect the rights of community event permit holders and to protect residents' quality of life by ensuring balanced usage of public space. It was also the intent of the Council to protect the rights of people to engage in expressive activities in the City's public places and to establish the least restrictive and reasonable time, place and manner regulation of these activities. However, races are not classified as expressive activities;. they are athletic events. Council further intended to create mechanisms for cost recovery and use charges, to the extent authorized by law, while not unduly impacting the viability of events. As to the use of the beach lots, their use for commercial purposes is regulated in two ways. The Community Events Law and regulations establish limits on usage, including limits on the frequency, duration and number of spaces that can be used for permitted events. Use of the 1550 lot is administered differently because Council designated that lot .for commercial activities pursuant to licenses negotiated by the City in its entrepreneurial capacity. The 1550 lot is also used for community events when it is not licensed for commercial use. In order to accommodate use of the south beach lot or lots as proposed by the LA Marathon, Council would have to designate that lot for licensure, much as it designated the 1550 lot, although the guidelines governing licensing would be different. Community Benefits It is clear that the LA Marathon, which will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2010, is being developed as a marquis running event which will attract both elite, international runners as well as runners from all over the country who want to participate in a world- class event. The prestige of the event will bring attendant benefits to Santa Monica. The LA Marathon garners extensive international, national and local media exposure. In 2008, the LA Marathon raised $1.6 million for its official charities. Race organizers have again identified several local service organizations that will receive contributions from the 2010 race. They include: Heal the Bay, Sojourn Services of OPCC, and 4 Students Run LA: The 2010 LA Marathon will be the world's first major-city marathon to achieve green certification with the Council of Responsible Sport. While race organizers estimate that the economic benefit to the City over five years is $21 million (hotels, parking, meals), staff is unable to project an estimated benefit at this time. Concerns and Issues While holding the LA Marathon in Santa Monica presents the City with a unique opportunity to be part of a first-class race event, it also raises concerns regarding public safety, traffic management, neighborhood impacts, coordination of overall logistics, and legalities. There are significant costs that the City would incur to provide appropriate staffing. Assistance from neighboring cities would be required for Police and Fire. Buses would need to be re-routed. In addition to public safety and traffic management personnel, a City staff person would be required to interface with the race organizers on all event components. Race organizers would be required to conduct extensive community and neighborhood outreach, meeting with neighborhood, business associations and houses of worship. City staff, by necessity, would be part of this ongoing outreach. Race organizers have committed to providing full cost recovery for all City services. There are also significant legal issues. As noted above, changes in the law would likely be needed to accommodate all or portions of marathons and half-marathons and for the proposed use of the parking lots. As part of those changes, new race routes would need to be designated. And if they were, other groups would likely want to use these routes. Council might consider a limit on the number of races, or might want to accommodate all or a portion of one marathon and/or half-marathon on a trial basis. Financial Impacts & Budget Actions Should Council authorize the race, all Gity costs and fees would be the responsibility of the IA Marathon: Staff would determine the types and limits of insurance the LA Marathon would be required to provide. 5 Prepared by: Elaine Polachek, Deputy City Manager Approved: Ehaine Polachek Deputy City Manager Attachment A - LA Marathon Proposal Attachment B -Proposed Race Route Forwarded to Council: ~+'nont Ewell Manager 6 Attachment A ~\ ' June 10, 2009 Ms. Elaine M.

We expect to have it finished next week and will submit it to you promptly upon completion; • All streets that intersect the course will have barricades blocking access to the route. Additionally, barricades will be placed one block off the course on all intersecting streets, with signage indicating course closures. This will reduce the impact of vehicle traffic driving up to the course and having to execute a u-turn; • Emergency vehicles will have access to cross and/or drive along the course at all times at all points; • Once the route is approved, we will submit a detailed traffic plan for the City's review and revision; • We're requesting that Ocean Avenue have acurb-to-curb closure during the race day timeline. Race Day Course and Medical Services • 25 water and 13 electrolyte (Gatorade) stations along the entire course, with 4 water and 2 electrolyte stations in Santa Monica; • 10 misting stations located adjacent to water stations, with 2 in Santa Monica; • Dropped runner shuttles will circle the course, starting at Mile 7 and continuing through Mile 24, providing transportation back to the finish line for those participants who cannot finish the race. In this past month's Marathon, 75 people were transported from the course to the finish Tine; City of Santa Monica June 10, 2009 Page 3 • 10 medical stations along the course starting at Mile 6 and placed every other mile through Mile 25. Stations are staffed by both MDs and nurses. Each station also has a dedicated van for delivery of personnel and supplies.
