BACKGROUND During 2023, 25 special events are planned which will require street closures or parking restrictions; staff recommends the City Council approve these events as presented in Attachment 1. One notable event this year is the Centennial Celebration for Amador Valley High School which has been planned to coincide with the September street closure for Weekends on Main, scheduled for September 15-17. Of note, the organizers of the Centennial event requested that Main Street close at 1:00 pm instead of the standard 4:00 pm for the other closures associated with Weekends on Main to accommodate a parade of alumni into the downtown. Staff will coordinate with the Pleasanton Downtown Association to ensure all downtown businesses are informed of the dates and times of the downtown street closures. Advance approval for most events will streamline the approval process without sacrificing City input and control. If approval is granted for the stated events, the Police Department will continue to process all event applications as in prior years: event organizers will be required to submit a parade/street closure application, an insurance policy to indemnify the City from liability associated with the event, and detailed information about the operation of the event. Police Department staff will ensure event organizers effectively manage community notifications of potential event impacts as well as associated roadway closures. Prior to each event, the Police Chief will declare that an unusual condition exists, thereby allowing City streets to be temporarily closed and authorizing temporary parking controls affected streets to be enforced.
