RE: Resolution Establishing Special Events Costs for 2011
BACKGROUND
On March 9, 2010, the Common Council adopted a Special Events, Marches and
Public Assemblies Ordinance which allows the City to recover certain costs
related to extraordinary services provided to specific special events. The
ordinance provided that the Common Council would establish a list of standard
fees and charges by hourly rates or flat fees on an annual basis by Resolution.
The ordinance also provided that the Council may specify certain tasks that may
or may not be subject to extraordinary service charges.
ANALYSIS
Staff identified those services that they have provided for special events in the
past and calculated the costs for providing those services.
The cost basis used to determine the rates is 'full costing'. This method attempts
to fully recover the costs incurred by the City for the services provided, and
includes wages and benefits for the time spent on the special services.
In addition to the costs for various personnel identified in the Resolution, staff is
recommending that the Council authorize the recovery of costs related to any
special equipment that any of the departments or divisions deem necessary to
provide the services required or requested of them at the City's actual cost.
Finally, staff identified two particular types of events that staff recommends the
Council waive all costs related to: community -wide parades and residential
neighborhood block parties. Staff recognizes that neighborhood block parties

Memo: Special Events: 12/9/10: P. 2
promote many of the values of community policing and encourage relationships
between persons and their neighbors which provide many other benefits to the
City as a whole. In addition, staff recognizes that traditional neighborhood block
parties do not have a "sponsor" nor are they commercial in nature. Similarly,
staff identified the traditionally non - commercial nature of parades as well as their
community -wide appeal. Based upon these considerations, staff recommends
the waiver of fees as identified in relation to parades and neighborhood block
parties.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed resolution would allow the City to recover costs related to specific
special events within the City which require the provision of extraordinary
services.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution as proposed.
