SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT REQUEST PROCESSING
Purpose: 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 Community 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
Community 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.

reviewed by the departments indicated:
