Request fo r Waiver of Special Event Permit Fee fo r Annual Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Beach PartyPrepared fo r Carmel-by-the-Sea City Council- March 5, 2013

Background:I began the process to request waiver of the $400. Special Event permit fee on January 2, 2013 well in advance of ourApril 20th event. We have held this party on Carmel Beach fo r many years. Our proceeds go to Animal Friends RescueProject (AFRP) a local non-profit. Attendance has grown exponentially. Last year we had an estimated 300 peoplepart icipate and we recognize the need to adhere to City policies regarding Special Event Permits and Liability Insurance.City staff provided me a copy of the City Council Policy on Event Fee Waivers on January 23, 2013. I fol lowed this policyto the Jetter and submitted packages to the City Administra tor with a copy to the Mayor on January 28, 2013. Myrequest was that I be placed on the March 5th Agenda so that I could address the Council.I was advised by City staff on Thursday , February 28, that I had been given the wrong Fee Waiver Policy and that staffhave the authority to approve fee waivers up to $5,000. My request was denied. Further, I was not on the MarchAgenda, but could appeal to Council during Public Appearances.I strongly believe we meet all of the Council's criteria fo r fee waiver and have followed the guidelines provided. Tosummarize :City Council Policy- Criteria fo r Fee Waiver;

Economic Impact to Community - 85% of our attendees come from out of town . We es timate that half of themmake Carmel-by-the-Sea a weekend destination and believe that our party cont ributes 100 nights'accommodation during an of f season, non-event weekend. These people also eat in our restaurants and shop inour local stores. As of Friday, March 15t, the Cypress Inn reported that they have booked 39 of 44 rooms for theApril 20th weekend.

Charitable Contributions to the Community- Proceeds from the event go to Animal Friends Rescue Project ofPacific Grove. This 501(c}3 nonprofit directly benefits the citizens of Carmel by placing animals in new adoptivehomes (312 in Carmel since 2010}. They provide Carmel res idents with any re-homing needs. They do talks inour schools on everything from animal care to career information. They run a community spay/neuter voucherprogram fo r residents who cannot afford to have their animals altered and they also provide opportunities forCarmel youth and adults to volunteer with animals. Last year's party generated almost $5700. most of it fromou t of the area, for this worthwhile local organization.

What people are saying:

Excerpt from email from Visitors Center, Carmel Chamber of Commerce (01/19/2013) "We have had a lot of callscome in to our Visitor Center in the past few weeks as many people plan their Vacations here in Carmel around yourevent."

Excerpt from email from Diggidy Dog (01/31/2013) "The foot traffic during the day of the event is always busy, andwe hear countless customers telling us that they traveled to Carmel from near and far solely to attend the CKCSBeach Party. I know several stay overnight in Carmel's dog friendly hotels, and most certainly eat at the restaurants.Overall, the CKCS Beach Party truly brings a lift in business to Diggidy Dog, and we look forward to it every year."

Excerpt from email from Sacramento attendee (01/06/2013) "Sophie and Abby (my 2 Cavalier Bab ies) and I LIVE forth is event EVERY year. It 's virtually the ONLY 3 day/2 night vacation I've taken 1x/year for the past 5 years ! ! "

Excerpt from email from Cypress Inn (01/10/2013) "I can certainly attest that we have multiple rooms occupied as aresult of the party, which has gained in popularity over the years. A dog-related, cha r ity event during a lower seasonis exactly what the community needs to bring in additional revenue, along with the resulting TOT and Sales Tax."

Excerpts from members of the San Francisco Cavalier King Charles Meet Up Group (04/22/2012)"The event was great! We were in doggie heaven. It was organized, fun. Defini tely will go again next year !""Good doggies, good people, good food and some nice raffle prizes. And the$ went for a good cause, to help rescueanimals. We will definitely plan on going again next year.""OMG! It was a SPECTACULAR EVENT in a GREAT place with OUR GREAT dog BREED and great people. Can't wait tillnext year!"

Please accept this written request for a fee waiver for what will be our 12th Annual Cavalier King Charles SpanielBeach Party to be held on Saturday, April 20, 2013 on Carmel Beach between 9th and 1Oth A venues. Would youkindly place this request on the March 5th, 2013 Council agenda for review by the City Council.Fee Waiver Sought:

$400. Fee associated with event on the beach.Criteria fo r Request:

Economic impact on the communityThe Cavalier KCS Beach Party has grown exponentially over the past decade. 85% of he attendees are from out oftown. We now attract 300 guests, many from Sacramento, the Bay areas and LA but also as far away as FL, AZ ,WA, NY and NJ. About half of them make Carmelby.the-Sea a destination weekend. We conservatively estimatethat 100 rooms are booked for the event weekend. As of Friday, March 1st 29 of the 34 rooms at the Cypress Innwere booked, a direct result of our Beach Party (two night minimum on Saturdays). Both day and weekend visitorsshop and eat in our many pet friendly stores and restaurants.We intentionally hold the event on the weekend before the Big Sur Marathon so as not to compete for restaurantsand lodging. See emails from Cypress Inn and Visitors Center of the Carmel Chamber included with thissubmission.Last year husband and wife team Dan Merchant and Emily Randolph travelled to Carmel from Arizona with theirtwo Cavaliers in tow to attend the 11th CKCS Beach Party. They subsequently published a children's book titled"It's a King 's Life in Carmel-by-the Sea". It's a delight and the Cavalier KCS Beach Party features prominently,along with glowing descriptions of dog friendly Carmel, its hotels and restaurants. The book is selling well onAmazon, as well as other sites and the authors will be returning in 2013. Attendees will have an opportunity topurchase the book before the party and have their copies signed at the Beach Party. A portion of each book sold willbe donated to Animal Friends Rescue Project (AFRP).

for residents who cannot otherwise afford to have their animal altered. AFRP also provides opportunities for Carmelyouth and adults to volunteer with animals. The 11th Cavalier KCS Beach Party in 2012 generated over $5600.forthis very worthwhile organization.

Documentation Required with Waiver Request: Detailed Scope

The Cavalier KCS Beach Party is normally held on the beach between 9th and 1Oth. The event runs from 1 to 4 PM.This year it will be held on Saturday, April20. Set up begins around 6:30AM. We have a hired crew who for thepast 6 years have delivered tables, food, all party items and clean and rake the beach prior to se t up. They alsobreakdown and clean at 4PM. Two volunteers return to the site the next day and inspect to ensure all garbage fromthe party has been removed and that the garbage/recycling bags left behind in the pickup area on Scenic are still ingood order.Volunteers from AFRP se t up a table to sell raffle tickets and admission to those who did not sign up and pay onlinein advance.Food and beverages are provided as part of the admission. A themed fashion parade is held with winners receivingribbons. The raffle tables generate a lo t of interest. Last year we had 22 prizes (ranging from hotel room stays, toGift baskets and Gift Certificates).We try and take a group photo at around 3:30, but with the vast number Cavaliers and owners this is always achallenge and we seem to end up with as many people taking pictures as those having their pictures taken.We select a theme for every party. Over the years these have included: Hawaiian Luau, Cinco de Mayo, Cowboy,Rock & Roll, Pirates, Scottish and April in Paris. Some of the outfits on both two and four-legged attendees are verycreative. Our theme for 2013 is "A Cavalier Circus".Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are very sweet and loving dogs and not aggressive in the least. Jt is truly aremarkable (and very Carmel-like) experience to see 200+ of hese creatures cavorting on our beautiful sand Beach,tails waving high.

I cancertainly attest that we have multiple rooms occupied as a result of the party, which has gained inpopularity over the years. A dog-related, charity event during a lower season is exactly what thecommuni ty needs to bring in additional revenue, along with the resulting TOT and Sa les Tax.Please let me know how I can support you in the effort to continue this event.
