Staff recommends the City Council approve these events for the calendar year. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />Advance approval for most events will streamline the approval process without sacrificing City <br />input and control. <br /> <br />If approval is granted for the stated events, the Police Department will continue to process all <br />event applications as in prior years. 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 <br />event, and detailed information about the operation of the event. Police Department staff will <br />ensure event organizers effectively manage community notifications of potential event impacts <br />as well as associated roadway closures. <br /> <br />Prior to each event, the Police Chief will declare that an unusual condition exists, thereby <br />allowing city streets to be temporarily closed and authorizing temporary parking controls <br />affected streets to be enforced. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />Not applicable, as this item is a routine matter of City business. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />No outreach was conducted, as this item is a routine matter of City business. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />This action supports the ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Building a Community Where <br />Everyone Belongs to foster community engagement and conduct effective planning to promote <br />a livable and economically vibrant community. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 89 of 228
