Discussion
In January 2013, the City mailed a survey to determine community interest in the concert
series. Survey results showed that residents enjoyed concerts both in the spring and in the
fall. As a result, commencing in May 2013, the City of Palm Desert held its first of the two
concert series for the year. With approval of the above perFormers and associated costs,
the fall series will be set and staff will finalize preparations.
In effort for the City to improve performer quality and expand the number of concerts, staff
sought out potential sponsors. To that end, staff was able to bring on-board the Family
YMCA of the Desert who covers the cost of one concert/band and has partnered with the
City since the 2012 Summer Concert Series. Commencing with the 2013 Fall Concert
Series, the Desert Recreation District is partnering with the City with a $5,000 contribution
that can be used for one or both concert series' as needed. Staff is hopeful that these
partnerships will continue in the future.

Studio Instrument Rentals (SIR) of Palm Springs.
