Individual operational reports covering staffing and street closures will be generated for <br />each event as the year progresses. Staff recommends that council approve these events for the calendar <br />year 2006. <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 indemniry 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 />SR 06:042 <br />
