A RESOLUTION OF THE CTTY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, STATZNG THE CITY'S
- OPPOSITION TO A MUSICAL ROCK FESTIVAL IN THE
ANZA AREA.
r
WHEREAS, a musical rock festival is being promoted for
September 4, 5, & 6, 1981, on the Cahuilla Indian Reservation
in the vicinity of Anza; and
WHEREAS, previous experience in other places indicates that
such festivals have a"spillover effect" resulting from inadequate
housing, parking, transportation, and sanitary facilities at the
site, and that such effect can extend into communities many miles
away; and
WHEREAS, the city of Palm Desert lies on the major State
Highway to the festival site, as a result of which we could
expect crime, violence, vandalism, congestion, and accidents;
and
WHEREAS, it is beyond the City's resources, or that of
other governmental agencies, to deal with problems of the mag-
nitude that would be created.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Palm Desert
hereby expresses its opposition to the proposed musical rock fes-
tival and urges the County o£ Riverside and all other governmental
jurisdictions to take such action as may be necessary to remove it
and similar events from consideration.
