Agenda Item Summary
Name: Consideration of a Resolution approving a fee waiver in the amount of $27,030 for the 2013 Carmel Art Festival.
Description: The organizers for the Carmel Art Festival, scheduled this year for May 16-19, 2013, have requested that the City waive fees associated with this annual event.
Overall Cost:
City Funds: Should the organizer's full request be granted, $27,030 for fees for the use of Devendorf Park, closure of Mission Street, signage and barricades, sound permit, parking stalls and processing fees. The deposit for damage to the park is refundable and is not included in the waiver request. The actual cost of NO PARKING signs is also excluded as it is a direct cost to the City.
Grant Funds: N/ A
Staff Recommendation: Allow for the closure of Mission Street, the use of Devendorf Park for the exhibition and sale of art, event posters and t-shirts and grant a waiver for this year's event in the amount of $14,930, which includes a waiver for 10 parking stalls for Thursday, 10 for Friday and 5 for Sunday rather than 60/60/26 stalls for those days.
Important Considerations: This is the 20th Annual Carmel Art Festival. This four-day event celebrates Carmel's history of being an artist community and provides a cultural and educational experience for the locals and visitors.
Decision Record: Last year, the City Council approved the Festival's waiver request of $12,300.
