CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA

CITY COUNCIL
Staff Report
SR 2017-016
February 7, 2017
Consent Agenda

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

SUBMITTED BY: Janet Bombard, Library and Community Activities Director

APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator

SUBJECT: Adopt a resolution authorizing Fiscal Year 2016/17 Special Event Support Program
grant funding in the amount of $13,000 to the Carmel Art Association for the Carmel
Art Festival event to be held May 18 - May 21, 2017.

RECOMMENDATION

Authorize Fiscal Year 2016/17 Special Event Support grant program funding in the amount of $13,000
in Special Event Support Program to the Carmel Art Association for the Carmel Art Festival event to be held
May 18 - May 21, 2017.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY

At its December 13, 2016 meeting the Community Activities and Cultural Commission (CA&CC) considered
Fiscal Year 2016/17 Special Event Support grant funding requests from three organizations: Big Sur
International Marathon (Run in the Name of Love), Monterey County Vintners and Winegrowers (Monterey
Winemakers Celebration), and the Carmel Art Association (Carmel Art Festival).

The CA&CC forwarded a recommendation to the City Council for its consideration at the January 3, 2017
meeting regarding grant funding for the Run in the Name of Love and Monterey Winemakers Celebration
events, but asked the Carmel Art Association to return to the Cultural Commissions January meeting with a
budget that more accurately reflected the expenses and income associated with the Carmel Art Festival event.
Specifically, the CA&CC asked that the following issues be resolved before considering a recommendation to
the City Council:

The budget as presented did not accurately reflect all sources of revenues and expenses.
The Art Associations written request to use Devendorf Park for the event was not reflected in its
budget.
The budget contained an expense line item for a donation to charity. It was the Commissions opinion
that donations to charity should be disbursed based on disposable income after the event, not listed as
a budgeted event expense.

The Commission also asked the Carmel Art Association to specify the amount of grant funds being sought, as
that was left off the application.

The Carmel Art Association returned to the January 10, 2017 Community Activities and Cultural Commission
meeting with a revised budget, and a grant request of $13,623. The amount of the grant request included the
special event permit processing fee of $155, and a refundable damage deposit for Devendorf Park of $350:
fees which the Commission felt should not be included in the request. After removal of the two items, the
amount of the grant request came to $13,118, which is the estimated total amount of the Carmel Art
Associations special event fees.

The majority of that $13,118 is the costs to rent Devendorf Park (see Attachment 3). Due to financial
constraints, the Carmel Art Association was unable to rent Devendorf Park for the 2015 and 2016 Carmel Art
Festivals. At both the December 13, 2016 and January 3, 2017 Community Activities and Cultural Commission
meetings, the Carmel Art Association expressed the opinion that its inability to use Devendorf Park in recent
years has had a negative financial impact on the Carmel Art Festival.

After considering the Carmel Art Associations Fiscal Year 2016/17 grant request in the amount of $13,118, the
Community Activities and Cultural Commission voted to send the following recommendation to the City
Council:
1. Grant the Carmel Art Festival $13000
2. Review the Carmel Art Festival budget next year after the park has been included. If the event has
generated more income as a result, reduce their grant allocation going forward.

The recommended grant amount of $13,000 will reduce the Carmel Art Associations total event fees to $118.

FISCAL IMPACT

The total amount allocated to special event funding in the Fiscal Year 2016/17 budget is $27,500. At the
January 3, 2017 meeting the City Council authorized grant funding to the Big Sur International Marathon in an
amount not to exceed $4,000, and grant funding to the Monterey County Vintners and Growers Association in
an amount not to exceed $3,000. Should Council authorize $13,000 in grant funding to the Carmel Art Festival
the amount remaining in the 2016/17 Community Promotions Fund budget will be $7,500.

This is the first year of the Special Event Support Program grants. Because City Policy C16-01 was adopted
after the beginning of the fiscal year, the $27,500 that was allocated to Special Event support this fiscal year
was originally allocated for fee waivers, and the two Car Week events were funded from a different budget line
item to which $30,000 was allocated.

The City charges special event fees in order to recoup its costs for special events. These costs include City
staff overtime, the use of City equipment, and the wear and tear to streets, parks and facilities. The total
amount allocated to special event support in Fiscal Year 2016/17 was $57,500 which has resulted in the Citys
waiving the majority of special event fees this fiscal year. Going forward, staff anticipates that the City Council
will want to recover more of the costs of special events and will therefore reduce the amount of Special Event
Support Program funding in the future.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

This is the first year of the Community Promotions Fund Grants; however, the City Council has previously
approved fee waivers for the Carmel Art Festival in the following amounts: $1,575 in 2016; $5,000 in 2015;
$12,636 in 2014; $14,930 in 2013; and $12,475 in 2012. Prior to that time the Carmel Art Festival paid the City
a flat fee of $500 for the event.

The Carmel Art Festival requests a grant for Special Event fees, We believe that our plein air
painting competition helps to keep Carmel a destination for artists and art lovers, as well as
continuing Carmel's reputation as an art colony, Cannel was founded in part by its fi.rst plein air
painter and her husband. By holding the festival outside and also by bringing large sculpture
into the park, as well as a live sculpture demonstration, we help make art more accessible to
everyone. We donate the proceeds to youth art programs in i'vfonterey County, thus helping train
Carmel's next generation of artists as well.

We attract the best plein air artists from around the country and showcase the many local artists
that are part of this elite group. We also attract many art buyers from all over the country who
stay in local hotels and dine in local restaurants as well as purchase almost $100,000.00 in art
(half of which goes to the artist and half to the festival) which adds to the city's sales tax
revenue.

Thank-you for your continuing help and consideration,

Tammi Tharp, President

Carmel Art Festival - Performance measures:

Over the past 10 years since the Carmel Art Festival has blocked off Mission Street between Ocean
and 6th, we have streamlined the placement of the tents and the flow of traffic to where all has been
going smoothly. The vendor who sets up the tents knows what he is doing, and we have not had any
problems.

Because we have paintings and sculpture stay up on the street and park at night, we have hired our
own security and, again, have not had any problems of theft, vandalism or weather problems (even
though we had a terrific storm pass through one year).

Without Devendorf Park:

For the past 2 years we only had the festival on the street and not the use of the park. This has been a
big disappointment to many attendees. During the previous 4 years, we had live entertainment in the
park, sculpture demonstrations by such well known artists as Steven Whyte. People would come and
sit on the lawn and listen to the music, walk amongst the exhibited sculptures from many art galleries
around town, and generally enjoyed the park setting. Without any activities in the park, people do not
even go in there. That's why we would like to have the park again as part of the Carmel Art Festival:
so that the public can enjoy it.

We have never had any food and beverage functions, but this year we would like to have a Friday
Evening "art unveiling" wine and nibbles event on Mission Street for art collectors who always come
by that first night between 7 and 9 PM. We have a tentative agreement by Pepe to devise an
appropriate function.

ONLINE PRESENCE:

The Carmel Art Festival, which is only one weekend a year (the weekend after Mother's Day) attracts
several thousand people to the event each year, filling hotels and restaurants.

Many come year after year. For those who need to skip a year, we have started ONLINE ABSENTEE
BIDDING. This was started in 2009, when we put all 120 paintings that the 60 artists produce for the
festival on the website so that people can view them across the globe. Each year we get more bidding
participation. In fact, our ONLINE PRESENCE has expanded greatly when we updated our website in
2014.
