April 6, 1983 .Lt.'Va1.Strosser, Charlie Clark and myself have met with the organizer of the proposed Triathalon scheduled for Sunday, August 21, 1983. The Triathalon plus a Marathon race, will extend from Playa" del Rey down to Long Beach with Hermosa Beach being a small part of the course. After•careful consideration, we indicated to the race director, Mr. George Owens, the course for Hermosa would have to .be changed to Valley Drive northbound lane from Herondo all the way through to our northern boundary. Only the northbound lane will be used by theathleteswhile the south bound lane will continue to be used by vehicular traffic. Two police officers will be stationed at every major intersection; road tubes (3 feet high) will be placed down Valley Drive indicating the two distinct lanes; flyers will be distributed to the residents informing them of this event;. and local newspapers will publish the race route through our Cityalerting the residents. Police and Public Works feel this can be easily controlled with minimal, if any, adverse impact on the residents as well as the beach visitors we always expect on•a warm sunny summer Sunday. Lt. Strosser will advise the Police Chief, about this and he may have some further •comments I indicated to Mr. Owens the Special Event Permit fee will he enforced. As. Hermosa Beach is only a pass through area for the race, the fee will be adjusted. As some other incidental information, the• Event will be filmed by CBS and the Goodyear Blimp. Once the course is finalized, Prince Phillip will be asked to make the award presentations as he is the President of the World Wildlife Fund International. Miller Beer is one of the major sponsors. And Cal Trans is supporting the race and given their permission .for.certain routes requested. I would like your comments on this Greg, as soon as possible, as I need to finalize everything with Mr. Owens. To date, Manhattan and Redondo have taken no action on this event. I have attached some informational sheets for your perusal. 'cc: • Charlie Clark Lt. Strosser Police Chief
