HUSTON, CITY MANAGER COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT FEE WAIVER - DINOSAUR DASH RECOMMENDATION: Pleasure of the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT: Police Department Salaries Traffic Control Inspection Field Services Salaries Equipment Material Total DISCUSSION: $ 350 140 675 130 180 $1,475 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. Recreation Supervisor Susan M.
