FROM: The Law Department
DATE: March 1, 2021
SUBJECT:
A Resolution to Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Fox Valley Music Foundation for the Venue's use of Mundy Park for the the Calendar Year of 2021.
PURPOSE:
The City and the Foundation would like to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding which outlines the terms and conditions upon which the Foundation may utilize Mundy Park for their events.
BACKGROUND:
The Fox Valley Music Foundation leases City property at 19-21 S. Broadway, also known as the Venue. The Foundation chose this location for its close proximity to Mundy Park. The Venue's location on Broadway was developed with a garage door which opens to Mundy Park for the purpose of hosting outdoor concerts.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is seeking a new agreement with the Foundation for the year of 2021. Last year the Venue successfully held several outdoor concerts at Mundy Park, and the Foundation and the City would like to see the Venue continue to host events there this summer. This agreement outlines the obligations of both the Fox Valley Music Foundation, and of the City. Similar to last years' Agreement, this MOU outlines that the Foundation will follow State and local health department guidelines, and that events will only be permitted as long as the State remains in Phase 4 of the Governor's Restore Illinois Plan. This agreement will allow for another season of outdoor music events hosted by the Venue which will further complement and enhance downtown arts and entertainment.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This agreement will encourage outdoor music and entertainment events in our downtown, and encourage the utilization of Mundy Park for the benefit of the public.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends this Resolution be approved.
