RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution granting a permit to the Culver
City Exchange Club (Exchange Club) to conduct a Beer and Wine Garden in
Veterans’ Memorial Park during the 2013 Fiesta La Ballona (Attachment).
BACKGROUND:
Culver City Municipal Code (CCMG) 13.03.025(A) grants the City Council authority
to issue a permit for a beer and wine garden at the City’s Fiesta La Ballona event.
The Beer and Wine Garden (“BWG”) has been a part of the Fiesta La Ballona (“the
Fiesta”) for the past several years (2005 – 2012). In past years, there have been no
reported incidents directly or indirectly related to the BWG operation. The Culver
City Lion’s Club was the permittee for the BWG in 2005 and 2006 and the Exchange
Club has been the permittee for the BWG since 2007.
The Exchange Club is a local non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing
financial support to various community-based organizations benefiting children,
seniors and those with disabilities. The Exchange Club co-sponsors other annual
events with the City of Culver City, including the “Cruisin’ Back to the 50’s” Culver
City Car Show and the Carnival for Children with Disabilities.

Agenda Item Report
DISCUSSION:
The 2013 Fiesta La Ballona will be held on Friday, August 23, Saturday, August 24,
and, Sunday, August 25. The Fiesta La Ballona Committee would like to offer a
BWG for Fiesta 2013 and is once again recommending the Exchange Club as the
BWG vendor. The Exchange Club desires to sponsor the BWG for Fiesta 2013
under the same conditions imposed by the City for Fiesta 2012.
Liability and Insurance Requirement
The insurance requirement for the BWG is one million dollars ($1,000,000) general
liability insurance, per occurrence, including liquor liability. According to the
conditions of the proposed Permit, the Exchange Club must submit the required
evidence of insurance at least two weeks prior to the Fiesta event. The City
Attorney’s Office will review the insurance policy and verify that, in addition to
coverage for general liability, the policy includes liquor liability coverage and has
added the City of Culver City and the Fiesta Committee as additional insureds.
The BWG Hours of Operation
With regard to the hours of operation, the Exchange Club is proposing the same
schedule as last year:
Friday 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Saturday 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Sunday 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
All end times may be earlier, depending upon the level of participation.
Other Conditions
The Exchange Club is willing and able to comply with all of the other conditions
imposed during previous Fiestas. As set forth in the proposed resolution, other
conditions deal with issues pertaining to enforcement regarding minors and safety
procedures, among others. The Exchange Club will have its volunteers trained in
applicable laws regarding liquor sales and provide the necessary supervision
required to ensure laws are enforced.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The adoption of the proposed resolution will have a nominal positive fiscal impact to
the City due to the $600 event space fee that will be charged to the Exchange Club
for the use of the area within Veterans’ Memorial Park which the BWG occupies
during the Fiesta. This revenue will be deposited in the General Fund {Account
10130285 (Community Events - Fiesta La Ballona)}.
