Committee reviews special-event boundary language, signage and cup program ahead of Blooms festival
Summary
Members reviewed a sample special-event ordinance with incorrect hours and boundary language, discussed signage and a QR-code to link rules, and agreed a clean draft should be ready for council so the ordinance can be in place before the Blooms festival in April.
The committee reviewed a sample ordinance for a temporary outdoor-dining / special-event district and identified errors in hours and mapped boundaries; members agreed to correct the draft and return with a clean document for council review.
A member noted the sample contained incorrect hours and boundary descriptions and said staff would incorporate corrections from the prior city council presentation. The committee discussed using an "Attachment A" map to clarify the district, adding signage and a QR code linking to rules or a short survey, and having the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) purchase an initial set of clear cups to distribute to licensed vendors.
The committee targeted a timeline to complete edits after the holidays and run required public-notice advertisements so the ordinance could complete two readings and be in place in time for the Blooms event in April; members emphasized that council can accept, amend, or reject committee recommendations.
