SUMMARY
The City Council will consider adopting a resolution that suspends certain regulatory
ordinances, as allowed under City Ordinance No. 1310, for festivities at the Palm
Springs Power baseball game at Palm Springs Stadium on Saturday, June 17.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING
CERTAIN REGULATORY ORDINANCES TO FACILITATE A FIREWORKS
DISPLAY FOR FESTIVITIES AT THE PALM SPRINGS POWER BASEBALL
GAME AT PALM SPRINGS STADIUM ON JUNE 17, 2006."
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Palm Springs Power Baseball Team is asking that the City suspend its Noise
Ordinance on June 17 to allow for a five-to seven-minute fireworks display to occur
at roughly 10:15 p.m. following the night game at Palm Springs Stadium. The Palm
Springs Power is entering its third year with the City of Palm Springs and would like
to make this evening at the stadium a special occasion for the entire community.
Staff has reviewed the proposed event through the Special Events Planning Team
and sees no complications with the request. The event producer is proposing to use
a reputable firm familiar to the City of Palm Springs to conduct the fireworks show
and has agreed to pay all employee support costs associated with producing the
event. The Palm Springs Power will supply the City with the appropriate insurance
for the event as is normally required for pyrotechnic displays. The promoter has
agreed to advertise the fireworks display heavily in all media purchases and work
with the City's Public Affairs Director to do specific public service notifications to
inform the community of the fireworks display. Item No. n . L.
