Discussion
As part of the FY 2013/14 Budget, City Council approved sponsorship of the Desert
Recreation District's 2014 International Sports Festival (Senior Games). As a result,
staff is requesting Council approval to process payment to Desert Recreation District for
the event in the amount of $26,000. The event is scheduled for February 6 — 9, 2014.
The International Sports Festival continues to be a popular event. The event has been
cosponsored by the City since its inception in 2000. The 2013 event brought in 1,074
participants. The breakdown reflects 193 local participants and 881 non -local
participants ranging from 35 to 60 years of age and older. The 881 non -local residents
travelled from various cities within California as well as from other states. As in years
past, the City's sponsorship dollars help fund the cost of event locations not owned or
operated by the City or Desert Recreation District (DRD), media, advertising, opening
ceremonies, and dedicated emergency response for the event. The International Sports
Festival (Senior Games) is one of the largest of its kind in the State of California.
