Penman, City Attorney Shauna Clark, City Administrator ------------------------------------------------------------------- This morning, Councilwoman Miller and I met with Ann Harris and two principles of Pro Sports, Inc. regarding the hosting of 3 bicycle criteriums, pro and amateur, in the City of San Bernardino on the above dates. The groundwork has been accomplished by Ann Harris of Main Street and the information we received is exciting and positive for the City of San Bernardino. The criteriums would be 3/4 of a mile long with the start/finish on 3rd Street in front of City Hall. The races would be held between 2nd and Court Street, Arrowhead and "E" Street (see map) . Street closure, barricades, medical support, cleanup, insurance and advertising issues were addressed and conceptually there are no major problems. A quick gathering of POlice, Fire, Courtesy Ambulance and Public Services indicated all issues can be coordinated easily enqugh. A short meeting with Fred Wilson, Assistant City Administrator, took place to close the loop. Parks, Recreation and Community Services will be contacted for future coordination. Attached is a very preliminary budget. Pro Sports, Inc. will be presenting their credentials and make a brief presentation if the Common Council will agree to hear.them as. an urgency matter on June 17 prior to the BUdget Hearing. The urgency is a matter of advertising in a national magazine that must have their copy in by the afternoon of the 17th of June. A conceptual approval by the Council will provide the "go ahead" for Pro Sports. Recognizing that time is short and of the essence, and realizing that this will be a tremendous shot-in-the-arm for San Bernardino, I recommend that we go forward with this item. ERE:jv .
