RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution granting an alcohol use permit to the Culver City Exchange Club (Exchange Club) to conduct a Beer and Wine Garden in Veterans Memorial Park during the 2019 Fiesta La Ballona.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Culver City 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 annual events with the City of Culver City, including the Culver City Car Show and the Abilities Carnival and Resource Fair (formerly known as the “Kids’ Carnival”).
Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) Section 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) since 2005. The Exchange Club has been the permittee for the BWG since 2007. The Fiesta Beer and Wine Garden Income and Expense Report, with 2019 projections, is provided (Attachment 1).
The 2019 Fiesta 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 2019 and is once again recommending the Exchange Club as the BWG vendor. The Exchange Club desires to sponsor the BWG for Fiesta 2019 and has agreed to comply with all of the conditions imposed in the proposed 2019 resolution (Attachment 2). The resolution has been updated to include the required permit conditions set forth in City Council Policy Statement: Alcohol Use Permits for City-Produced and City-Sponsored Special Events, adopted by City Council Resolution No. 2019-R014.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The adoption of the proposed resolution will have a nominal positive fiscal impact to the City due to the collection of the $800 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 event space fee will be posted to a revenue account in 10130285 (Community Events - Fiesta La Ballona).
