DATE: August 22, 2002 CONTENTS: REQUEST BY THE ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION Recommendation By Minute Motion, waive fees associated with the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk scheduled to be held Saturday, February 8, 2003, in the Palm Desert Civic Center Park. Executive Summary For the past several years, the Alzheimer's Association has sponsored its Memory Walk to raise funds for research, education, and programs sponsored by this organization. This request mirrors prior years, which is to use facilities and fund appropriate personnel at no charge to the organization. Background In an attempt to increase awareness of the programs and services available to Alzheimer victims and their families as well as raise funds for their implementation, the Alzheimer's Association is organizing a Memory Walk. This activity is scheduled to be held on February 8, 2003. Event planners recently met with staff to outline and obtain approval for their proposed activity. Since this event is being held for the sole purpose of raising funds and increasing public awareness of the disease, they are requesting that the following required fees be waived: a Maintenance Worker ($40 an hour for six hours), a Code Compliance Officer ($40 an hour for six hours), reservation fee ($80) and administration fee ($200) for a total cost of $760.00. In return of this consideration, the City of Palm Desert will be recognized on all event publicity and materials as a "Co-Sponsor".
