Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution authorizing the closure of Dolores Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on August 21, 2010, for the “Block Party for the Arts” event sponsored by the Carmel Art Association.

Description: The organizers of the “Block Party for the Arts” event have requested that

3:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 21st, 2010 for this event.
Overall Cost: City Funds: N/A
Grant Funds: N/A
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approve this Resolution.
Important Considerations: The Carmel Art Association is an integral part of the
community. This one-day event, organized in conjunction with the Arts Council
for Monterey County, is designed to bring together cultural organizations from
throughout the County to share their information and talents with the public.
There will be no food vendors, but local restaurants are encouraged to be open
and offer specials during the event.
Carmel Municipal Code Section 12.32.060 requires that City Council approve the
closure of streets and the placement of tents in the public right-of-way for events.
This has not posed problems or generated complaints at similar events held in the
City in recent years.
Decision Record: None.
