SUBJECT:
Requesting approval for St. Nicholas Church to have a Music Festival as part of their Kermes 2014 Summer Fest event to be held on the parish grounds on June 28th and 29th, 2014.
PURPOSE:
St. Nicholas Church, located at 308 High St., will be holding their Summer Fest event on Saturday, June 28th and Sunday, June 29th, 2014. As part of this event, St. Nicholas Church would like to have live musical entertainment, which requires City Council approval prior to the issuance of a permit.
BACKGROUND:
This yearly event will include three musical groups, including a Mariachi band, food, and games.
DISCUSSION:
Our office has received a completed application for this event, including a certificate of insurance, event layout, performance bond, and certificates of completion of Crowd Management training courses. St. Nicholas has also submitted an application for an assembly operational permit, and an inspection of the site will be conducted prior to the event.
As in previous years, the event will take place in the parking lot of the church, at 308 High St. The hours of operation for the Festival will be from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and the music will be played from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m on Saturday, June 28th, and from 12:00 noon to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 29th. We will work with the Aurora Police Department to ensure security coverage.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is my recommendation that this item be referred to the Government Operations Committee for their next meeting on May 27th, 2014. This will ensure review and passage by the City Council prior to their event.
