November 5, 2006.
RECOMMENDATION:
Grant a fee waiver of staff costs and equipment of $13,700 and issue a permit for the
2006 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 sixteenth annual 2K, 5K and 10K runs accommodates over 7,000
participants, providing them the opportunity to contribute to a fund-raising event for the
Tustin Public Schools Foundation.
The Police Department provides nearly $8,100 in street personnel coverage and labor
assistance. The Public Works Department provides approximately $4,100 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 as their major fund-
raiser. Funds generated from the event go directly into teacher based classroom
programs. Approximately 6,400 participated in the 2k, 5k and 10k races last year. City
staff has met with Ms. Carol Burby Garrett, the Executive Director, and Mr. Jim Remick,
the Event Chairperson, to review their permit details.
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 July 17 Council meeting to answer any questions.
