Named after brothers Clifford and Randall Henderson, who helped found Palm Desert in the
1940s, the Henderson Community Building is home to the Palm Desert Area Chamber of
Commerce. It also provides a comfortable and environmentally friendly meeting place for a
variety of community groups.
On Saturday, October 26, 2019, Palm Desert High School wishes to reserve the facility for its
Hall of Fame Award Ceremony, where they will also be serving alcoholic beverages. As
alcohol will be served, they are requesting an exception to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section
9.58.010 (Consumption of alcoholic beverages on public property). Staff will also make a
request that they maintain liquor liability insurance.
If there are future events that also wish to serve alcohol at this facility, Staff recommends
approval of an annual exception from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020, and authorization
of the City Manager to sign any required California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
documents. Each request to serve alcohol will still have to come to the City Manager and will
be considered individually.
