REQUEST:
Recommendation
By Minute Motion,
Approve an exception to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section
9.58.010 (Consumption of alcoholic beverages on public property)
for the sale and consumption of alcohol by the Joslyn Center (73-
750 Catalina Way).
1. Approve an exception to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 9.58.010
(Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages on Public Property) at the Joslyn
Center (73-750 Catalina Way), for an event on November 16, 2017.
2. Authorize the City Manager to sign the Daily License Application from the
California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for this event.
Strategic Plan
Approval of this request does not directly tie into the strategic results portion identified in
the Palm Desert Strategic Plan. However, events at the Joslyn Center are geared
toward a wide audience and provide a cultural and lifestyle enrichment for all ages.
Background Analysis
The Joslyn Center is a nonprofit community organization providing programs, services
and activities for adults over 50 years old in Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage and Indian
Wells. The Center hosts numerous weekly programs and activities that are designed to
encourage active involvement. Members have access to the Center's free activities and
clubs as well as discounts to select fee -based programs.
The Joslyn Center is hosting their annual open house event on November 16, 2017,
from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Because the Center requests to serve alcohol at a City
owned property, an exception to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 9.58.010 is
required. The Center completed a daily license application from the California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) that will be submitted contingent upon
City Council approval.
