SUBJECT:
Resolution approving a Music Festival permit for the Two Brothers Summer Festival.
PURPOSE:
To approve the issuance of a Music Festival permit for the Two Brothers Summer Festival to be held on Friday, June 20th, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., Saturday, June 21st, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Sunday, June 22nd, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Because of this misunderstanding, we are asking that, if approved by the Government Operations Committee on June 10, 2014, the item be forwarded to the City Council meeting on the same day as New Business. This would enable us to issue a music festival permit prior to the event.
