Summary

The City approved hosting a proposed 'Signal Fest' at the Dome Park. Organizers will handle entertainment while the city will provide EMS, police, fire and fencing; no upfront city payment was expected and some ticket/parking revenue could return to the city.

Armando Aguilar, director of parks, briefed the commission on a proposal to host a first-annual Signal Fest at the Dome Park. Organizers would manage entertainment and production; the city would provide on-site resources (EMS, police, fire and fencing) and could recover costs through ticket or parking revenue sharing.
