City of Culver City, California City Council Agenda Item Report RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council consider a fee waiver request made for the Culver City Car Show and direct staff as deemed appropriate. BACKGROUND On May 13, 2006, the Downtown Business Association (DBA) is proposing to host the Culver City Car Show. This would be the third annual car show hosted by the DBA. As proposed, the car show would be presented in the same general area as in the prior two years: along Culver Boulevard from Duquesne Avenue to the south and Ince Boulevard on the north. DISCUSSION Mr. Jay Handal, representative of the DBA, has submitted information to Staff related to the planned layout of the 2006 Car Show. After evaluating this information, staff has estimated City costs associated with the Car Show to be approximately $15,000. These costs would be incurred primarily by the Public Works and Police Departments. Mr. Handal has requested the City Council grant a fee waiver. In 2005, staff recommended, and City Council approved, a fee waiver requested by the DBA. However, given the fiscal challenges being faced by the City, the Meeting Date: 04/17/06 Item Number: A-2 AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of A Fee Waiver Request made for the Culver City Car Show Contact Person/Dept.: Martin R.

Fulwood (04/13/06) City Controller Approval: Marlee Chang (04/13/06)City of Culver City, California City Council Agenda Item Report circumstances have changed and staff is unable to support the requested fee waiver. Tonight the City Council is considering the subject of the fee waiver. Mr. Handal has also submitted a Special Event Permit application which will be heard by the Committee on Permits and Licenses on April 19, 2006. FISCAL ANALYSIS As mentioned above, the City’s costs associated with the Car Show are estimated at $15,000. Unless a fee waiver is granted by the City Council, staff would invoice the DBA for the actual costs incurred. Alternately, should the City Council grant the fee waiver, the additional costs would not be reimbursed and require a supplemental appropriation from the General Fund reserve. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council consider a fee waiver request made for the Culver City Car Show and direct staff as deemed appropriate.
