FEE WAIVER PERMIT FOR THE TUSTIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATION
2002 DINOSAUR DASH
SUMMARY:
The Tustin Public Schools Foundation has requested a waiver of staff costs, equipment
rental and permit fees for the 2002 Dinosaur Dash, which will be held on November 3,
2002.
RECOMMENDATION:
Grant a fee waiver of staff costs and equipment of $6,450, and issue a permit for the
2002 Dinosaur Dash.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Parks and Recreation Department, the Police Department and the Public Works
Department provide services to assist the production and logistics of the Dinosaur
Dash. This twelfth annual 5K and 10K run accommodates over 4,000 participants,
providing them the opportunity to contribute to a fund-raising event for the Tustin Public
Schools Foundation.
The Police Department provides nearly $2,450 in street personnel coverage and labor
assistance. The Public Works Department provides approximately $2,500 in labor
assistance and equipment rental to logistically support the event. The Parks and
Recreation Services Department provides approximately $1,500 in labor assistance and
permit processing.
DISCUSSION:
The Tustin Public Schools Foundation hosts the Dinosaur Dash a s their major fund-
raiser. Funds generated from the event go directly into teacher based classroom
programs. Approximately 3,800 participated in the 2k, 5k and 10k races last year. City
staff has met with Joann Ruden, the Executive Director, and Dave Hunsaker, the Event
Chairperson, to review their permit details.
This year the Tustin Public Schools Foundation has been asked to coordinate radio-
controlled intersections to limit the delays of residents exiting onto major thoroughfares.
Additional signage and notification are required 30 days prior to the event to make sure
all residents in the area are aware of this large special event. City staff from the Police,
Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments will coordinate street closure and
traffic control duties.
The Tustin Public Schools Foundation is requesting that fee waivers for all labor,
equipment and permits be granted. A member of the Tustin Public Schools Foundation
will be in attendance at the August 5 Council meeting to answer any questions.
