pL£AShNTON <br /> Staff Report <br /> <br /> February 15, 2005 <br /> Police Department <br /> <br />SUBJECT: APPLICATION TO CLOSE STREETS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS <br /> DURING 2005. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br /> Approval for Annual Special Event Street Closures for 2005. <br /> <br />SUMMARY: The Pleasanton Municipal Code requires Council approval of parades and <br /> special events requiring the closure of City streets. <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />During 2005 it is anticipated there will be approximately twenty-three annual special events requiring <br />street closures. Individual operational reports covering staffing and street closures will be generated <br />for each event as the year progresses. 'Staff recommends that council approve these events for the <br />calendar year 2005. <br /> <br />Advanced approval for the majority of events will streamline the approval process without sacrificing <br />city input and control. New events will be reviewed individually as applications are processed <br />throughout the year. <br /> <br />If approval is granted for the stated events, the police department will continue to process all event <br />applications as in prior years. Namely, event organizers will be required to submit a parade/street <br />closure application, an insurance policy to indemnify the City from liability associated with the event, <br />and detailed information about the operation of the event. <br /> <br />Prior to each event, the Police Chief will declare that an unusual condition exists, thereby allowing <br />streets to be temporarily closed and authorizing parking controls on the affected streets to be enforced. <br /> <br />SR05:044 <br /> <br /> <br />
