SUBJECT:
Requesting approval for St. Therese Church to have a Music Festival as part of their 2016 Summer Fest event to be held on the parish grounds on August 14th, 2016.
PURPOSE:
St. Therese Church, located at 271 N. Farnsworth Av., will be holding their Summer Fest event on Sunday, August 14th, 2016. As part of this event, St. Therese 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, 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. Therese 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 271 N. Farnsworth Av. The hours of operation for the Festival will be from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and the music will be played from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is my recommendation that this item be referred to the Government Operations Committee for their next meeting on July 26th, 2016. This will ensure review and passage by the City Council prior to their event.
