At the February 17, 2021 City Council Meeting, the City Council approved Special Events Ordinance Number 4161 amending Ordinance Number 2480 concerning special events. In doing so, the newly revised ordinance provides for three new fees of which will require approval by resolution of the City Council in order to be implemented. Staff has also offered an additional fee, which is called the “date change fee”.
More specifically, the recommended fees are: (1) a cancellation fee, (2) a date change, rush or priority fee and (3) an appeal fee.
Each fee is a charge to cover the costs to administer and manage the special event permitting process, such as staff time and labor.
