Recommendation
By Minute Motion, approve the temporary waiver to Palm Desert Municipal
Code (PDMC) Section 11.01.080 W (Possession/Consumption of Alcohol
in City Parks) pursuant to PDMC 9.58.040.
Background
This year marks the Desert Recreation District's (DRD) 13th annual International Sports
Festival (formerly known as the Senior Games). The DRD traditionally hosts a welcome
reception dinner in the Palm Desert Community Center. Due to park restrictions (past
and present) of alcohol, the DRD has been granted approval from the City Council to
serve beer and wine at these events in past years.
The DRD is looking to try a new event for this year's opening ceremony by hosting it at
the Civic Center Amphitheater. DRD is proposing to continue serving beer at this event
and has prepared a plan that complies with all of the requirements of the Alcohol and
Beverage Control (ABC); however it does require City Council approval. This plan
includes creating a 400-square-foot tented canopy which will be completely fenced and
guarded by a licensed security guard. No beer will be allowed outside of the tented
area, and only participants of the event will be allowed in the beer garden. The DRD
feels that this venue will draw a larger crowd and assist in the continual growth of the
event.

Ryan:
I have been working to secure the plan for Alcohol at the Sr. Games BBQ and here is what I have
come up with. I believe it provides adequate control to satisfy Council.
Desert Recreation District will Setup 4 10x10 Canopies in a cluster forming an are that is 20 x 20 or
approximately 400 square foot area. This area will be fenced with a mesh snow fence type material
with a single entrance and exit approximately 10ft wide. A licensed Security Guard will be stationed
at the entrance/exit area carding appropriate age levels. The Beer Garden will be setup adjacent to
the Ampathetere on the Lake where the Radio Stations usually setup for concerts. Hi -Mark will be
used to provide and sell Beer. There will be no wine or other types of hard liquor available. Hi -Mark
staff will also be carding for age. The beer Garden will be setup and operate in the afternoon during
the BBQ and Concert. Approximately from 3:30pm — 5:30 pm on Friday February 8, 2013. 0n a final
note only Competitors and Family Members will be permited to purchase beer. This will be achieve
through the distribution of arm bracelets to those attending the BBQ.
I hope this is enough detail for you.
Best Regards,
