Authorize the Chief Executive Officer for Natividad Medical Center, or his designee, to execute a County of Monterey Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") with Salinas Regional Sports Authority (“SRSA”), authorizing SRSA to use on a temporary basis the Corral Parking Lot on the Natividad Medical Center campus for overflow parking by SRSA staff on designated weekends through December 31, 2025, at no cost to SRSA, in support of events and regular programming at the Salinas Regional Sports Complex.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Natividad Medical Center requests that the Monterey County Board of Supervisors authorize the temporary use of the hospital’s Corral Parking Lot by the Salinas Regional Sports Authority (SRSA) for overflow staff parking during special events and regular programming activities. These events are scheduled in advance and typically occur on weekends, during which the Corral Parking Lot is not in use by the hospital.
To ensure the safety of all participants and the public, SRSA has committed to providing volunteers stationed on both sides of Constitution Boulevard to assist and ensure that staff cross only at the designated crosswalk.
Furthermore, the agreement between Natividad Medical Center and SRSA includes the following conditions:
• No pre-event gatherings or “pre-gaming” will be permitted in the parking lot.
• The use or possession of drugs and alcohol is strictly prohibited on the premises.
• SRSA is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the lot and ensuring that it is free of litter following each use.
We appreciate the Board’s consideration of this request to support community programming while maintaining hospital operations and safety standards.
