Fairs,arts festivals, concerts, sporting activities, <br /> parades,marches,and fun runs give Everett residents and visitors the opportunity to celebrate,support <br /> charitable causes,and engage in civic life. <br /> Interest in producing special events in Everett has grown substantially over the past few years. The events <br /> have gotten larger and more complicated to manage,from both the organizer's standpoint and for city staff <br /> who provide guidance and support to ensure that public health,safety and welfare are protected. <br /> This Ordinance provides the foundation on which a new Special Events Permit program has been built. <br /> Other program components include new administrative procedures, and a new web page with event <br /> guidelines,frequently asked questions,online permit applications, staff contacts, and quick links to other <br /> helpful information. The purpose of the new program is to improve the City's processes and provide clear <br /> and easily accessible information to assist organizers in producing successful events in the City of Everett. <br /> RECOM IENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): Adopt Ordinance regulating Special Events <br /> and repealing Ordinance No. 461-77 (Chapter 46.24 EMC) <br /> 13 <br />
