REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF AN EXCEPTION TO MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 9.58.010 (CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
ON PUBLIC PROPERTY) FOR VARIOUS PRIVATE EVENTS AT THE
PALM SPRINGS ART MUSEUM -PALM DESERT (THE GALEN)
LOCATED AT 72-567 HIGHWAY 111.
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Y. Aryan, Risk Manager
DATE: October 25, 2012
CONTENTS: Temporary Use Permits
Recommendation
By Minute Motion,
Ratify approval of an exception to Municipal Code Section 9.58.010
(Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages on Public Property) for two private
events (10/13/12 & 10/20/12) at the Palm Springs Art Museum -Palm Desert
(The Galen), located at 72-567 Highway 111.
2. Approve an exception to Municipal Code Section 9.58.010 (Consumption of
Alcoholic Beverages on Public Property) for numerous private events
(10/30/12, 11/10/12, 11/13/12. 11/14/12, and 11/15/12) at the Palm Springs
Art Museum -Palm Desert (The Galen), located at 72-567 Highway 111.
Background
Palm Springs Art Museum (PSAM) officials indicated that they wish to hold numerous private
events at their Palm Desert satellite facility, also known as The Galen (72-567 Highway 111).
These events are listed in more detail in the table below and also include the consumption of
alcoholic beverages, both inside the facility and within the Sculpture Gardens.
Temporary Use Permits (TUPs) were submitted to the Planning Department and circulated to
the appropriate City Departments for comment. Please note that two of these events will have
already occurred by the time the City Council considers this request. These items were not
brought sooner to the City Council because a staff member had to take an earlier than expected
maternity leave. Staff recommends an exception to Municipal Code Section 9.58.010
(Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages on Public Property) for the events listed below. This
action will not approve the TUPs, as they still need to be reviewed by various City Departments
before final approval can be granted.
Please note that the Palm Springs Art Museum indicated that all events are catered by licensed
caterers and an alcohol license will be required by all bar tenders and caterers. They also
indicated that the Museum and City will be listed as additional insureds.
