Home My WebLink AboutPSAM - Various Events Apprvl - 72567 Hwy 111r CITY OF PALM DESERT CITY MANAGERS OFFICE STAFF REPORT REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF VARIOUS EVENTS INCLUDING THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL AT THE PALM SPRINGS ART MUSEUM IN PALM DESERT. SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 72567 HIGHWAY 111, IN PALM DESERT, CA. SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst DATE: September 24, 2015 CONTENTS: Copy of PDMC 9.58 (Public Drinking and Liquor Possession) Recommendation By Minute Motion: Approve the temporary waiver to Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC) Section 9.58 (Possession/Consumption of Alcohol on City Property) in conjunction with regularly scheduled events related to First Weekend and the City's Farmer's Market. 2. Authorize the City Manager to approve up to five additional temporary event waivers to PDMC Section 9.58 (Possession/Consumption of Alcohol on City Property) if needed throughout FY15/16. Backciround The Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert (PSAM) has become a strong partner with the First Weekend Events, as well as the City's Wednesday Farmer's Market. Below is a brief description of the character of each event being proposed at the PSAM: 1. First Weekend. The PSAM has had success with hosting First Friday events which include live music, catered food, and beer and wine offerings. The sculpture garden and carriage lane lend themselves well to outdoor functions and the PSAM expects approximately 300-400 attendees at each event. Events are held once monthly on the first Friday of each month. 2. Farmer's Market. We have been working with the PSAM staff to encourage a partnership with the Farmer's Market. Last year, the PSAM had success hosting a Vino and Vinyasa event, which offers participants a serene setting for a yoga class with a congratulatory glass of wine upon finishing. Events can occur weekly in conjunction with the City's Farmer's Market; however, PSAM staff is intending to host one event monthly. Staff Report PSAM Special Events September 24, 2015 Page 2 of 2 In both cases, PSAM would like to have the option to host these events on a regular basis including serving alcohol. PSAM will be adhering to all requirements of the Alcohol and Beverage Control and will apply for all related permits. In addition to the regularly scheduled events, staff would like to have the ability to approve up to five additional events, which would include serving alcohol. These events would be subject to final approval by the City Manager and are not intended to interfere with normal operations at the PSAM. Having a reserve of flexible event waivers would help staff in managing operations with the PSAM. Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact to the City related to staff's recommendation.
