POL TITLE APPEAL OF DENIAL OF TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE PERMIT CITY MOR.&- ~ ~~~ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Deny appeal of Police Chief Jimno's decision to deny CAT Sports a temporary road closure permit to conduct Bud Light Triathlon. ITEM EXPLANATION: CAT Sports has applied for a temporary road closure permit to conduct the Bud Light Triathlon on September 13, 1987. Beach for the past two years. of Rancho Santa Fe. The applicant was not permitted to use the same bicycle course in 1986 and applied to Carlsbad. The request was initially denied, but after extended conversation between Chief Jimno and CAT Sports the 1986 permit was approved. During those conversations Chief Jimno advised CAT Sports that the approval for the 1986 permit was unique because they had been left at the last minute without a course and that it was unlikely that the permit would be approved for 1987. The Bud Light Triathlon has been based in Solana In 1985 the bicycle course extended through a portion It is Chief Jimno's opinion that the value of the event to the citizens and City of Carlsbad does not offset the inconveniences, exposure to liability and use of department resources. Representatives of CAT Sports will present their case to Council who must affirm or overrule the Police Chief. FISCAL IMPACT: The operation of the event will result in no cost to the city because the applicant will pay staffing costs anticipated to be $1500. EXHI BITS : 1.

We originally applied for the permit in mid-January and did not receive a definitive answer until April 12th. During this time, at your suggestion, we have also been trying to get on the agenda to go before the city council. An original request to get on the agenda was met with a letter from Risk Management regarding operations issues from last years event. We responded to that letter and heard nothing. At that time, (Wed. April 8) I sat down with you and Mike McClure to discuss our progress up to this point. At that meeting you said you were not in favor of the event, but suggested that I go before the city council. After an entire week of attempting to request a spot on the city council agenda I was told that I had to file a written request with you. As you can see I have, in effect, been trying to plead my case before the city council since mid-January. In light of this, I respectfully request your help in obtaining a spot on the agenda as soon as possible. Please call me if you have any questions.

They have requested to use the same course as in 1986 - Carlsbad Boulevard, between La Costa Avenue and Palomar Airport Road. As you will recall, this permit was denied on July 28, 1986, but later approved after extended conversation. the applicant that it was very unlikely that a permit would be approved for 1987 and CAT Sports should begin to look for a new course outside of Carlsbad.

However, before further consideration can be given to your request, a number of procedures need to be completed and questions answered. The infor- mation required is set forth below for your convenience. 1. The application for temporary road closure which you filed will need to be completed. As indicated on the application, a detailed diagram of the area to be closed must be included with the application. It must designate signs which need to be altered, covered or added which will control traffic or give directions, and the location and function of any persons assigned to traffic control. The Police Department can prepare the diagrams for you, at the rate of $30.00 per hour, if you file a request with them for that service. 2. At the 1986 race, the race monitors failed to be on post at 7:OO a.m., in violation of the agreement. We would appreciate an explanation of the cause of that problem and any proposed solution which you may have which would prevent a reoccurrence. 3. At the 1986 race, traffic control devices were set up prior to 4:30 a.m. As a result, early morning traffic damaged the devices. That required two officers to move and reset them. That job was not completed until almost 8:00 a.m. We would like to know how you would propose preventing that problem from reoccurring. Mr. Mike McClure CAT Sports, Inc. February 11, 1987 Page two 4. At the 1986 race, there were several locations where the cones were more than 50 feet apart and the open traffic lane was less than 10 feet wide, in violation of the agreement. We would appreciate an explanation of the cause of that problem and any proposed solution which you may have which would prevent a reoccurrence. 5. At the 1986 race, many of the cones provided were only 18 inches in height, as opposed to the 28 inch requirement set forth in the agreement. We would appreciate an explanation of the cause of that problem and any proposed solution which you may have which would prevent a reoccurrence. 6. At the 1986 race, traffic control broke down at Carlsbad Blvd. and La Costa Ave. as the result of lack of personnel. We would appreciate an explanation of the cause of that hazardous situation and any proposed solution which you may have which would prevent a reoccurrence of that type of problem at any point along the race course. 7. With regard to insurance, we would like to know the level of liability insurance which your organization would provide for the 1987 event. (A $5,000,000 minimum would appear to be appropriate.) If you have any questions, or if we can be of any other assistance to you, please feel free to contact my office.

German City of Carlsbad/Risk Management 1200 Elm Ave. Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Mr. German: Thank you for replying to our application so quickly. We would be happy to clear up any problems and questions from last years' Bud Light USTS event; in an attempt to more finely detail the triathlon we have planned for September 13, 1987. At the 1986 race, volunteer monitors were not in the numbers we had hoped. Vounteers were assigned to priority one stations, then priority two as were monitors available. In 1986 monitors were assigned to traffic control points (see att. a,b,c,d) with specific instructions and notices to be given to traffic intercepted. This years' plan would be the same but Nith a guaranteed volunteer numbers with more vigorous recruitment of larger volunteer organizations, ie. Boy Scouts, Navy Recruits, YMCA, etc. At the 1986 race, traffic control devices were set up prior to 4:30 am because of the magnitude of the job. Four lines of cones 50' apart, plus signage, from La Costa Ave. to Palomar Airport Rd. took time. The plan this year would be to have a larger crew, more trucks as well as an independent USTS race course supervisor to check placement and to fine detail course prior to 7 am race morning. Once again, with well trained and adequately manned crews, and vehicles pre-loaded with only 28 inch cones, and signage specific to the Carlsbad area, the 1987 race will not have the problems you mentioned. A race course supervisor on a moped or in a small truck could adjust cones and signage as to the agreement of 50 feet apart with an open traffic lane 10 feet wide. The situation at Carlsbad, and La Costa was simply an underestimation of the requirement for manpower. We had two officers and two volunteers in place, however, it is now apparent that two officers and a minimum of 4 volunteers are required. We will schedule our monitor placement accordingly. Regarding the issue of adequate liability coverage, that is an issue that we would like to research further and discuss in a meeting with you. Enclosed you will find some monitor placement plans and detailed maps per your request. I have attempted to answer all your questions to the best of my ability and knowledge of the past year's event. I am very aware of the City of Carlsbad's concerns and will do anything I can to further assure you that the 1987 Bud Light U.S. Triathlon San Diego, will be without flaws. I I will call you next week to answer any questions you may have.

The bicycle I estimate that less than 100 persons watched the race in the Carlsbad area. A substantial number of those were persons at the camp grounds who were waiting for the end of the race so they could leave. The promoter advised that over 2,000 people competed in the event. PERFORMANCE CAT SPORTS, INC., made a $1,000.00 performance deposit; contract attached. This contract was intended to provide the City of Carlsbad with some leverage to assure that minimum traffic control requirements were met by the promoter. The Carlsbad portion of this race had the best traffic control which I have seen from a privately organized event. The promoter failed to follow specifics of the performance requirements. The race monitors, with the exception of Palomar Airport Road, were not not on post at 0700. The posts were eventually manned (after the first racers entered Carlsbad); they remained manned throughout the event. The traffic control devices,set-up early in the morning, were in place before 0430 hours and sustained substantial damage from traffic before the race began. It took two officers until almost 0800 to reset or move the devices to the proper locations. I estimate that approximately 20X of the traffic cones used to define the left edge of the open traffic lane, were 18 inch cones rather than the 28 in cones required. There were also several locations where the cones were more than 50 feet apart and where the open traffic lane was less than 10 feet wide. It is my recommendation that the city withhold 30% of the performance deposit. . * - 2- Budlight Triathlon - cont'd STAFFING Five officers were orginally assigned to the event. officer from Day Watch Patrol when the traffic control at Carlsbad Blvd. and La Costa Ave. began to break down because of a lack of personnel.
