TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Lynn A. Lorenson, City Attorney
DATE: December 5, 2014
RE: Resolution Establishing Special Events Costs for 2015
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 has identified those persons and services generally provided for special events
and calculated the costs for providing those services. Similarly the proposed resolution
identifies the most common items and equipment used in support of special events and
specifically itemizes the costs related to those items. Those services and equipment
which are most commonly_ used are specifically identified in the proposed resolution.
The Council has previously authorized staff to charge for other services provided by
calculating the cost of those services in the same manner as costs were calculated for
the employee services itemized in the resolution. In addition, the Council authorized the
recovery of costs for 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.
Staff is recommending that these general authorizations be continued to provide a
means for recovery of less typical costs should they arise.
The attached costs have been updated to reflect the City's actual personnel costs for
2015. No other changes to the current schedule of fees are being proposed at this time.
The Council has previously waived all costs related to: community-wide parades and
residential neighborhood block parties. The Council recognized that neighborhood
t,?
block parties 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, traditional neighborhood block parties do not have a
"sponsor" nor are they commercial in nature, so raising the funds for these types of
events can be problematic for neighborhoods. Similarly, Council waived costs related to
parades, recognizing the traditionally non-commercial nature of parades as well as their
community-wide appeal. Staff is recommending that this practice be continued.
Typically these types of events have no or very little cost associated with them and staff
believes the value of continuing to promote these types of activities outweighs any costs
which may fall upon the City as a whole from these events.
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.
