Recommendation
By Minute Motion, modify previous course approval of the Second Annual Martha's
Village & Kitchen Thanksgiving 5K Run/Walk as developed by the City for all 5K
run/walks on El Paseo.
Discussion
At its meeting of April 11, 2013, City Council approved the Second Annual Martha's
Village & Kitchen 5K Run/Walk scheduled for Thursday, November 28, 2013. However,
staff is bringing the item back to City Council to modify the route to be consistent with
the Bunny Hop 5K course, which was developed by City staff so as not to cross over
Portola Avenue at El Paseo. The proposed alternate course will have Tess impact to the
traveling public and would actually cost less for traffic control. It should also be noted
that both courses require that runners loop twice on El Paseo in order to make the 5K
distance.
Staff discussed the City's concern with Martha's Village & Kitchen regarding the course
crossing over Portola Avenue and requested that they consider the alternate course
recently designed by the City and approved for the Bunny Hop 5K, which remains on El
Paseo and loops twice from eastbound to Ocotillo Drive to westbound to Prickly Pear
Lane.
Ms. Jimmica Guess, the event organizer from Martha's Village & Kitchen indicated that
the issue has been discussed internally and they wish to continue with their existing
course as approved. She noted the following reasons:

• This is the second year of the event and from their standpoint the event and
course worked well. (However, there will be some minor adjustments made as
directed by the City.);
• The date and time of the event lends itself to fewer issues relative to impact on
streets, traffic, and businesses on El Paseo; and
• The course itself has already been certified and fees have been paid by Martha's
Village & Kitchen (approximately $1,400).
After more deliberation of the event and consideration of the calls received regarding
the traffic impact issues from the closure of Portola Avenue that arose from the Bunny
Hop 5K Run/Walk, staff thought it prudent to revisit this matter with Council.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact related to this project. All costs related to the event will be
covered by the event producer.
