Ms. Debra Strong, Executive Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, explained the Heritage Days Parade had become an annual event and that this year a sanctioned bicycle race was also being held, at the suggestion of one of the Chamber's members- California Peddlers. Ms. Strong stated that in recent discussions with City staff and the Police Department there was no mention of costs involved. She stated the Chamber is on a limited budget and she requested the City to co-sponsor this event and to incur the expenses. Ms. Strong advised that Chamber members and ~lso members of the Bicycle Club could assist the Police Department. She stated that after dis- cussion with the Bicycle Club it was felt that only one ambulance would be necessary for standby at this event. She stated that the Chamber could not place paid ads in the newl~apers regarding the event and advising that the streets in the bicycle route area will be closed. After discussion regarding these condition, it was moved by Councilmember Wood to amend the conditions to require only one standby ambulance, to try to get more off-street parking, and to'request the local newspapers to publicize this event. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Tim Piper, California Peddlers, explained that the bicycle race would be a santioned race, there would be approximately 100-115 participants, there would be an entry fee to cover costs incurred, and that there would be various classifica- tions of racers. He stated that his group had never before been required to have an ambulance on standby; that the Red Cross has always provided any first aid that was necessary. Councilmember Mohr expressed concern regarding the City financing a sanctioned bicycle race. Mayor Mercer stated he felt there would be many benefits to having such an event in the City. Mr. Walker emphasized that residents living on the bicycle race route would be virtually shut off from their homes for about a 7-hour period. 8. 8/26/80
