HEART OF PALM SPRINGS FESTIVAL
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council consider sponsoring the Heart of Palm Springs Festival by
adopting a Resolution suspending certain regulatory ordinances during the 2000
event as allowed under City Ordinance #1310.
BACKGROUND:
The Heart of Palm Springs Festival presenting k.d. Lang, which will take place on
Wednesday, November 15. is designed to boost tourism and enhance the city's
image as a lively destination.
The Heart of Palm Springs Festival, being a City-sponsored event, is able to hang
banners downtown, display posters, and otherwise promote the event. The
producer will provide the appropriate insurance as required by the City's Risk
Manager. It will also plan, organize, and stage the festival and is requesting no
funds from the City.
Muriel's Supper Club, the event promoter, has requested closure of Palm Canyon
Drive between Arenas Road and Baristo Road and Arenas Road between Palm
Canyon Drive and Indian Canyon Drive beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday,
November 15, to reopen at 12:00 midnight. No alcoholic beverages are being
seared on the street.
This event was presented to the Main Street Board on Thursday, October 5. The
board reviewed the proposal and signatures of support from Main Street
merchants (attached) in the vicinity of the closure area. Muriel's is seeking City
Council approval based upon this endorsement by the downtown merchants.
Muriel's Supper Club will be setting up a Sony Jumbotron (video only) on Palm
Canyon Drive at Arenas Road, facing south, so visitors and locals who failed to get
tickets (only 450 will be sold) are able to still see the performance on stage. The
performance will begin at 9:30 p.m. and conclude at 11:15 p.m.
