SUBJECT:
Requesting approval for St. Mary's Church to have a Music Festival as part of their 2018 Summer Festival event to be held on the parish grounds on Saturday, September 1st and Sunday, September 2nd, 2018
PURPOSE:
St. Mary's Church, located at 430 E. Downer Pl., will be holding their Summer Festival event on Saturday, September 1st and Sunday, September 2nd, 2018. As part of this event, St. Mary's Church would like to have live musical entertainment, which requires City Council approval prior to the issuance of a permit. The proposed entertainment includes the Ballet Folklorico Quetzalcoatl, and live bands.
BACKGROUND:
St. Mary's Church has been hosting summer festival events for a number of years. As part of their celebration, and similar to previous years, they will be offering live entertainment. If approved, this would be the fourth consecutive year a music festival permit would be issued for their summer event. To our knowledge, no police incidents have been reported at this event in the past.
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 on parish grounds, at 430 E. Downer Pl. The proposed hours of operation for the Festival are from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with the proposed hours for music and live entertainment being from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on both days.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is my recommendation that this item be referred to the Government Operations Committee for their next meeting on July 24, 2018. This will ensure review and passage by the City Council prior to their event
