SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT REQUEST PROCESSING
PURPOSE

KWA
To set forth City policy concerning administration and control of special events. Special
events include activities as defined by Municipal Code Chapter 5.10. Requests that
include activities for which the Municipal Code requires that a permit be obtained may
be included in the special event permit process.
POLICY
It is the policy of the City Council to ensure that the numerous special event activities
permitted by the City do not negatively affect the community, that requests for permits
are efficiently processed by staff, that City liability is eliminated, that all appropriate
insurance requirements are met, and that costs for municipal services provided are kept
at a reasonable level and recovered from the event sponsors. Affected City departments
shall be notified of special event permit requests in accordance with the schedule
attached and provide recommendations on how to conduct the event safely, lawfully
and with a minimum negative impact on the community.
It is the responsibility of the Recreation & Senior Services Director to coordinate the
administration of special events and to be the central contact point for residents or other
event sponsors, as well as the various City Departments having influence or control
over aspects of any given event. Requests for special event permit applications will be
received by a special event coordinator in Recreation & Senior Services and routinely
routed to appropriate departments for investigation. Each department will investigate
the proposed event and make a recommendation for approval or denial of the event. If
recommended for approval, recommended conditions for approval will also be
presented.
Events that include the following activities or aspects shall be additionally reviewed by
the departments indicated:
