COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF 2005 "SUMMER OF FUN" SCHEDULE
AMENDMENT
DATE: APRIL 28, 2005
RECOMMENDATION:
By Minute Motion, approve Contract No. C23510K with Tall Man Productions in the
amount of $6,000 and authorize the Mayor to execute same. Funds are available in
account 110-4416-414-3061, and no appropriation is needed or requested.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Due to a previously booked artist's refusal to accept specific terms of the City of Palm
Desert's Performing Arts Agreement, it is necessary to schedule another artist for the
June 16, 2005, "Summer of Fun" concert.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council -approved lineup for the 2005 "Summer of Fun" called for a Polynesian
Review to be performed on June 16, 2005. When the artist returned the City of Palm
Desert's Performing Arts Agreement, it had been altered in a manner that was not
acceptable to the City. Therefore, it is necessary to fill that date with another
performance. The Ira B. Liss Big Band Jazz Machine from San Diego has been
contacted and is willing and able to fill that date. Staff has worked with this group in the
past and has found that this 18 piece big band orchestra is very popular with the
audience and presents a very engaging show.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve a contract with Tall Man
Productions, in the amount of $6,000, to perform at the 2005 "Summer of Fun" series on
June 16, 2005. Funds are available in fiscal year 2004/2005 account 110-4416-414-
3061, and no appropriation is needed or requested.
