CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FEE
WAIVER IN THE AMOUNT OF $400 FOR THE 12TH
ANNUAL CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL BEACH
PARTY
The organizers of the 12th Annual Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Beach Party, scheduled this
year for April 20, 2013, have requested that the City waive fees associated with this annual
event. This is the first waiver request from this group.
The waiver request was denied administratively on January 23, 2013 per the policy adopted by
the City Council by Resolution 2012-22. Staff denied the request for the following reasons:
1) The event is a one day event and Council has never waived fees for a one day event.
2) It is well-established and is in its 12th year.
3) The event fees have been paid by the organization since the fee schedule was adopted.
4) The event generates approximately $4,000 in revenue from ticket sales, which is then
donated to a non-profit organization in Pacific Grove.
FISCAL IMPACT
The impact to the City would be $400 for the fees associated with the use ofthe beach. The
$200 cleaning deposit for the beach is refundable and is not included in the waiver request.
RECOMMENDATION
None.

Request for Waiver of Special Event Permit Fee for Annual Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Beach Party
Prepared for 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 our
April 20th event. We have held this party on Carmel Beach for many years. Our proceeds go to Animal Friends Rescue
Project (AFRP) a local non-profit. Attendance has grown exponentially. Last year we had an estimated 300 people
participate 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 followed this policy
to the Jetter and submitted packages to the City Administrator with a copy to the Mayor on January 28, 2013. My
request 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 staff
have the authority to approve fee waivers up to $5,000. My request was denied. Further, I was not on the March
Agenda, but could appeal to Council during Public Appearances.
I strongly believe we meet all of the Council' s criteria for fee waiver and have followed the guidelines provided. To
summarize:
City Council Policy- Criteria for Fee Waiver;
Economic Impact to Community - 85% of our attendees come from out of town. We estimate that half of them
make Carmel-by-the-Sea a weekend destination and believe that our party cont ributes 100 nights'
accommodation during an off season, non-event weekend. These people also eat in our restaurants and shop in
our local stores. As of Friday, March 1
5
t, the Cypress Inn reported that they have booked 39 of 44 rooms for the
April 20th weekend.
Charitable Contributions to the Community- Proceeds from the event go to Animal Friends Rescue Project of
Pacific Grove. This 501(c}3 nonprofit directly benefits the citizens of Carmel by placing animals in new adoptive
homes (312 in Carmel since 2010}. They provide Carmel residents with any re-homing needs. They do talks in
our schools on everything from animal care to career information. They run a community spay/neuter voucher
program for residents who cannot afford to have their animals altered and they also provide opportunities for
Carmel youth and adults to volunteer with animals. Last year's party generated almost $5700. most of it from
out of the area, for this worthwhile local organization.
Pet Friendly Carmel-by-the-Sea- the Carmel Chamber website proudly proclaims Carmel-by-the-
Sea is definitely a dog-town destination". Our Annual Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Beach Party directly
contributes to this designation. Last year, author, artist and Cavalier owners Emily Randolph and Dan Merchant
from Scottsdale, AZ came to our event and subsequently published a charming children's book titled lilt' s a
King's Life in Carmel-by-the-Sea". Local hotels, restaurants, and of course the Cavalier Beach Party figure
prominently. They are returning for this year's party and will be holding a book signing at a private site and
donating a portion of book sales proceeds to AFRP.

What people are saying:
Excerpt from email from Visitors Center, Carmel Chamber of Commerce (01/19/2013) "We have had a lot of calls
come in to our Visitor Center in the past few weeks as many people plan their Vacat ions here in Carmel around your
event."
Excerpt from email from Diggidy Dog (01/31/2013) "The foot traffic during the day of the event is always busy, and
we hear countless customers telling us that they traveled to Carmel from near and far solely to attend the CKCS
Beach 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 Babies) and I LIVE for
this 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 a
result of the party, which has gained in popularity over the years. A dog-related, charity event during a lower season
is 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. Definitely 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 rescue
animals. 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 till
next year!"
Excerpt from Sacramento Meet up organizer (01/06/13) "I know it's early yet, but was wondering if you had a date
in mind for thi s year's party. Would like to organize my Sacramento Cavalier Meet Up to come down for the
weekend."

BY-lliE-SEA
Please accept this written request for a fee waiver for what will be our 12th Annual Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Beach Party to be held on Saturday, April 20, 2013 on Carmel Beach between 9th and 1Oth A venues. Would you
kindly 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 for Request:
Economic impact on the community
The Cavalier KCS Beach Party has grown exponentially over the past decade. 85% of the attendees are from out of
town. 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 estimate
that 100 rooms are booked for the event weekend. As of Friday, March 1st 29 of the 34 rooms at the Cypress Inn
were booked, a direct result of our Beach Party (two night minimum on Saturdays). Both day and weekend visitors
shop 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 restaurants
and lodging. See emails from Cypress Inn and Visitors Center of the Carmel Chamber included with this
submission.
Last year husband and wife team Dan Merchant and Emily Randolph travelled to Carmel from Arizona with their
two 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 on
Amazon, as well as other sites and the authors will be returning in 2013. Attendees will have an opportunity to
purchase the book before the party and have their copies signed at the Beach Party. A portion of each book sold will
be donated to Animal Friends Rescue Project (AFRP).
Charitable Contributions to the community
We have historically donated ALL money raised to Animal Friends Rescue Project (AFRP) a 50l(c)(3) nonprofit
organization based in Pacific Grove. AFRP is dedicated to fmding good permanent homes for abandoned, stray and
abused companion animals and ending the pet overpopulation crisis through focused spay/neuter programs. AFRP
rescues animals out of the County shelter, which is where Carmel sends their strays. They help Carmel residents by
placing new animals in adoptive homes (312 in Carmel since 2010). They provide Carmel residents with any
rehoming needs. They do talks at the high school, junior high and grade schools on everything from animal care to
career information. They provide a Prevent-A-Litter Program (P.A.L.), a community spay/neuter voucher program
340
for residents who cannot otherwise afford to have their animal altered. AFRP also provides opportunities for Carmel
youth and adults to volunteer with animals. The 11th Cavalier KCS Beach Party in 2012 generated over $5600.for
this 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 the
past 6 years have delivered tables, food, all party items and clean and rake the beach prior to set up. They also
breakdown and clean at 4PM. Two volunteers return to the site the next day and inspect to ensure all garbage from
the party has been removed and that the garbage/recycling bags left behind in the pickup area on Scenic are still in
good order.
Volunteers from AFRP set up a table to sell raffle tickets and admission to those who did not sign up and pay online
in advance.
Food and beverages are provided as part of the admission. A themed fashion parade is held with winners receiving
ribbons. The raffle tables generate a lot of interest. Last year we had 22 prizes (ranging from hotel room stays, to
Gift 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 a
challenge 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 very
creative. 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 a
remarkable (and very Carmel-like) experience to see 200+ of these creatures cavorting on our beautiful sand Beach,
tails waving high.

h year we cannot provide past financial statements. Our very small group of Beach
Party volunteers has historically paid for all food/beverage/labor/etc. costs and we have donated 100% of the money
collected to AFRP. Over the past 10 years this has amounted to close to $30K.
Included with this letter is supporting documentation (emails from attendees, Cypress Inn, Carmel Chamber Visitors
Center) as well as some photos from prior events.

Hi, Janet- and thanks for your message!
I know many of our guests would be disappointed not to have the 12th Annual Cavalier KCS party! I can
certainly attest that we have multiple rooms occupied as a result of the party, which has gained in
popularity over the years. A dog-related, charity event during a lower season is exactly what the
community needs to bring in additional revenue, along with the resulting TOT and Sales Tax.
Please let me know how I can support you in the effort to continue this event. It would be a shame for
something this fun, charity-minded and revenue-driving to go by the wayside.
All the best ,

That '> the rallying cry of the Forest ll>eater Guild, which
is set to stage the production at the outdoor theater in Carmel
this summer but is struggling with a major financial short-
fall. In order to put on the musical, which has dozens of
young kids and teens in its cast, the nonprofit needs to raise
$65,000 by May I.
" It is essentially a plea for the community to rally to save
the Forest Theater Guild's season," explained board vice
president Safwot Malek.

head, including the salary of executive director Jane De Lay.

that began in Carmel Valley last November,
54-year-old Michael Koselka of Aptos was
arrested April 3 in Marysville, and Monterey
County Sheriff's investigator Mark Stevens
believes he's guilty of multiple local bank
robberies.
Marysville police jailed Koselka- nick
named the Slee\ "s Bandit because his dis-
guises included long-sleeved shirts designed
to make the wearer appear tattooed - after
interrupting a bank robbery, according to
Stevens. Confronted as he fled, the suspect
led authorities on a high-speed chase, in
which he reportedly crashed into squad cars.
In custody, he admitted to 16 bank rol>-
beries in the Los Angeles, Santa Barbara,
San Luis Obispo, Madera. Monterey, Santa
Cruz and Yuba County areas, according to
Stevens.
"Mid-valley was the first one," he said

Eye patches, hooks - and floppy
ears - at Carmel Beach fete
By MARY BROWNFIELD
A CONTINGENT of costumed Cavalier
King Charles spaniels and their equally fes-
tive owners will converge on Cannel Beach
Saturday, April 19, for the 7th Annual CKCS
Beach Party. Set for 1 to 4 p.m. on the sand
at Scenic and 13th, the gathering will present
an unusual sight for passersby.
"We have a pirate theme this year, so we
hope to see lots of Cavaliers and their friends
and families decked out in appropriate
attire," wrote organizer Janet McTurk.
Attached was an invitation featuring her
dog, Lilly, and another pup, Lexie
Harrington, in full pirate regal ia and flanking
a treasure chest. (The amiable Lilly appar-
ently exhibited the same spirit as she has
when festively costumed to help McTurk
ring the Salvation Army bell outside the post
office each December, when she was always
joined by fellow Cavalier Harry Dodds.)
"T remember the year he wore the tuxedo
and top hat at the beach party," McTurk said
of Harry, who died recently. "He really did
walk around with a mayoral attitude."
Though it is free to attend, organizers rec-
ommcnd donations of $15 per adult, $5 per
child or $40 per family to benefit the Animal
Friends Rescue Project based in Pacific
Grove. Everyone who donates will receive
one raffle ticket, with more available for pur-
chase, and those funds will also go to the
AFRP. "These hardworking people, mostly
volunteers, do a great job of helping our
four-legged friends, both dogs and cats, who
have not led li ves as fortunate as our
Cavaliers," Me Turk said.
Regardless of whether people donate, she
continued, "We are happy to have you enjoy
an all.ernoon at the beach with a great gang
oft.vo- and four-legged attendees."
Event organizers could usc some help
with setup that morning, as well as during
the party, when volunteers greet guests, hand
out name tags, sell raffle tickets, set out food,
man the pirate tattoo booth and preside over
the pinata - "nothing too onerous, but
activities which will ensure everyone has a
great time," McTurk said.
