REQUEST FROM REDONDO BEACH TO USE HERMOSA AVENUE FOR THE

START OF 7TH ANNUAL SUPER BOWL ELITE MILE RACE

Recommendation

Staff recommends that Council:

Approve the attached request from the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce and Conte Productions to use Hermosa Avenue at 8th Street for approximately 30 minutes on Sunday, January 25, 1998 for the Elite Mile Race.

Waive special event and film permit fees.

Approve the event subject to the conditions listed in the analysis.

Background

The attached request asks that the City approve the use of Hermosa Avenue from 8th Street to Herondo for the start of the Elite Mile demonstration Race. This portion of the Race is an exclusive invitational event that is used to kick-off the 10K Race.

Analysis

Council approved this request last year with the conditions as listed below:

1. Certificate of Insurance in the amount of $2 million naming the City as additional insured.
2. Event organizers to pay for an off duty Police Officer (2 hour minimum) for the event.
3. Area residents to be notified in writing by event organizers prior to the event. Notification letter to be approved by Community Resources staff.
4. Event organizers to provide City staff with a radio.
5. All event vehicles will be identified with a placard.
6. Starting gun shall be examined and operator briefed prior to the Race start by a Hermosa Beach Police Officer.
7. The City shall approve commercial sponsor banners.
8. The City of Hermosa Beach shall be identified in any and all television credits.

With the minimal impact this activity has proven to have on the City in the past and the cooperation these kind of efforts foster (e.g., the bicycle portion of the Hermosa Beach Triathlon traverses Redondo Beach), staff recommends approval of this request.
Fiscal Impact: $122 (Estimated Police Fees)
