Summary

The committee reviewed Section 12 of a draft Special Event Permitting ordinance, choosing to set floors (insurance, restoration, service cost recovery) while leaving specific numeric insurance thresholds to be set administratively through the permit application; staff were directed to circulate a revised draft before full Council review at the end of July.

The Administrative & Finance Committee reviewed a months-long draft Special Event Permitting ordinance for the Village of Chagrin Falls, focusing on Section 12, which governs event operating standards. Committee members agreed to establish minimum expectations for insurance and site restoration while preserving administrative flexibility for numeric values.

Committee members directed Mr. Matheney and insurance representatives to draft proposed insurance-language by Friday and asked that the ordinance include a firm implementation date so staff have time to build the application process. The Committee also instructed staff to circulate a revised draft for review before the ordinance is brought before the full Village Council at the end of July.
