1987 CHILI COOK-OFF PROPOSAL
RECOMIqENDATIO# -
·
To authorize staff to reinstate the E1 Camtno Real Chtlt Cook-Off and to hold
the event September 27, 1987, in honor of the City's 60th Anniversary. (And
to return the event, tn 1988, to the tradttfonal ftrst Sunday in June.)
BACKGROUMI~:
Staff and Council members have been approached by members of the community
regarding the possibility of reinstating the E1 Camino Real Chili Cook-Off·
In order to produce a quality Chili Cook-Off, staff recommends a minimum of
five months to properly organize the event. If Council approved the event at
an April meeting, staff could organize the event in time to celebrate the
City' s 60th Anniversary.
Finance Director Ron Nault has submitted an application for special event and
liquor liability coverage. At this time, it appears that the City will be
able to obtain this coverage for the event for approximately $1,500. The City
would not be able to indemnify any of the participants. One of the provisions
for the City to obtain coverage is that the organization selling the beer and
wine must provide their own host liquor liability insurance and name the City
as an additionally insured. The Chili Cook-Off Committee could accept
proposals from non-profit groups able to secure the insurance coverage,
wishing to have the beer and wine concession for the event.
Staff is ready to organize the event and eagerly waits the Council's
dt recti on.
