RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving special event street closures for the Marin

BACKGROUND:
The Marin County Marathon and the Marin County Triathlon are two fundraising events produced
annually by Sustainable Sports on Point San Pedro Road between Riviera Drive and China
Camp State Park. Advance approval for these two similar annual events significantly streamlines
the approval process without sacrificing City input and control.
All street closures for special events are coordinated with the Police Department Traffic Division,
Parking Services and Public Works Department as well as other departments that require input
for the service that is needed. Individual operational planning for each event regarding staffing
and event logistics will be generated as the year progresses.
If approval for the street closures is granted, staff will continue to process the respective event
applications and any other documentation that is required. All event organizers are required to
submit an Event Application, fulfill insurance requirements indemnifying the City from liability
associated with the event, provide information regarding operation, logistics and activities
included in the event, as well as adhere to any local, state and/or federal rules and regulations.
City staff will ensure event organizers effectively manage community notifications of the event ,
as well as associated road closures.
ANALYSIS:
