Palm Springs Opera Guild's use of Sunrise Plaza for its "Opera in the Park 2000."
BACKGROUND:
The Palm Springs Opera Guild has been providing cultural enhancement to the residents of the
Coachella Valley for over 30 years.
For many years, the Palm Springs Opera Guild has supported an outreach program by which the
children of the community could be exposed to operas and operatic voices.
On April 18, 1999,the Palm Springs Opera Guild presented for the community its first"Opera in the
Park" as a free musical program in Sunrise Plaza. The fees for this event were waived.
It is estimated that the City's hard costs will total $240 (transportation and labor for Showmobile
setup and stand-by electrician). Rental of the park and Showmobile for the day would total $305.
Hanging a banner across Palm Canyon Drive for three weeks would total $300.
Money is available in the Recreation Administration Fund, Park & Field Rental Account Number
001-2510-44480 for this one-time expenditure.
At its March 15 meeting,the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the Palm Springs Opera
Guild's request. The recommendation results will be presented at this City Council meeting.
