Executive Summary:
Paws & Hearts is a non-profit agency that serves the entire Coachella Valley by providing
animal assisted therapy to local convalescent homes, senior centers, adult care facilities,
Alzheimer's facilities, hospitals, and children's facilities.
Background:
Paws & Hearts has requested the use of the Palm Desert Civic Center Park to raise funds
to provide animal assisted therapy services to local convalescent homes, senior centers,
adult care facilities, Alzheimer's facilities, hospitals, and children's facilities. This activity
is scheduled to be held on December 1, 2001, and event planners recently met with staff
to outline and obtain approval for their proposed activities. Since this event is held for the
sole purpose of raising funds to provide the services outlined in this organization's mission,
event planners are requesting that the following required fees be waived: a Maintenance
Worker ($40.00 an hour for four hours), Code Compliance Officer ($40.00 an hour for three
hours), clean up fee ($100.00), reservation fee ($50.00), and administration fee ($25.00)
for a total of $455.00. In return for this consideration, the City of Palm Desert will be
recognized as an event sponsor on all appropriate publicity and materials.
Staff recommends approval of this request, which is to waive fees associated with
production of the first annual Paws & Hearts Dog Walk/Talent Search scheduled to be held
on December 1, 2001, for a total consideration of $455.00.
