Re: Dinosaur Dash 7
Dear Darin:
It's hard to believe, but it is again time to prepare for the Dinosaur Dash. Each of the past
six Dashes has been so successful that we are planning another. This year, the event will
be held Sunday, November 16, 1996, from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at the Tustin
Market Place. Again this year, my duties include working with the City to obtain the
necessary permits, waivers of fees and costs, and to be the contact person for you and
:< ..... ,:, s~,.-:-:,:., sp,rli,o_ther city staff.
The event should be substantially the same as last year in terms of its impact on traffic
and City resources. We will have the traditional 2K and 5K events along with the 1 OK. I
the traffic plans that were employed last year worked well. As for the other assistance we
have received from the City in years past, our request this year is nearly identical.
As far as permits are concerned, last year you took charge of this process and expedited
the permits. Will you be able to do this again? Also, in the past, you have been kind
enough to work with Mr. Huston and the City Council to have our request for a waiver of
fees and costs placed on the Council agenda. We would ask for your assistance in this
regard again this year. I will be unavailable to attend the July meetings of the City
Council, but I can appoint somebody to appear at the Council meeting to answer any
questions.
Thank you for your continued courtesy and dedication. I will be in touch.
Sincerely,
·
