 City of Hermosa Beach --- 01-12-99
SAND AND STRAND RUN PARKING WAIVER
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by staff that the Council waive parking fees and time limits for the meters along Pier Avenue (from Manhattan Avenue to Hermosa Avenue), Hermosa Avenue between 8th and 16th Streets, and 13th Street west of Hermosa Avenue (if available due to parking lot construction), during the Sand and Strand Run on Sunday, February 14, 1999, from 7:00 am - 1:00 pm.
BACKGROUND
The Sand and Strand Run is an annual Hermosa Beach event now in its 47th year and runs from 7:00 am to 12:00 Noon. The run is unique, consisting of 55 percent sand and 45 percent Strand terrain. Please see attached flier from last year's race. The run is co-sponsored by the City and PROJECTtouch, with proceeds being divided equally.
ANALYSIS
It is hoped that free parking will encourage greater participation. A similar request to waive parking fees has been made of the City Council over the past several years and has been approved. The request to approve this would maintain the integrity of one of Hermosa Beach's consistently popular community events.
Fiscal Impact: Undetermined (At maximum potential usage = $375) Resident: 50 meters X 6 hrs. X $0.50/hr. = $150 Commercial: 150 meters X 3 hrs. X $0.50/hr. = $225
