The Tustin Public schools Foundation is holding the third annual
Dinosaur Dash on November 7, 1993. Last year the event drew 2,100
participants. The non-profit Foundation will use proceeds from the
run for grants to classroom teachers, staff training, workshops and
seminars.
The City Manager has designated Recreation Supervisor Gary Magill
as staff liaison for the event. Mr. Huston has already agreed to
waive fees for Temporary Use and Sign permits. Those permits fees
are $95 each. The Foundation is also requesting that the Council
waive fees for Police and Field Services Departments help.
The Police are required for security and street closures. Last
year Police Department salaries for the Dinosaur Dash were $350.
Police Department staff has confirmed that the costs for this year
will be approximately the same. Explorers will be used to minimize
costs.
The route for the Dinosaur Dash has been used several times so a
traffic plan has already been completed. A traffic control
inspection would however, cost $140 in salaries. Other costs for
Field Services equipment and salaries are based upon 1992 figures
and input from the Field Services Manager.
The Council has the discretion to waive City fees for equipment and
staff overtime for the event. The Public Schools Foundation held
a very successful event the last two years. The Foundation
anticipates continued community involvement this year. Proceeds
from the run will be used to improve the quality of education for
Tustin area youth.
