Vrbanovic, Chair and Members of the Finance and Corporate Services Committee DATE OF MEETING: April 12, 2010 SUBMITTED BY: R. Gosse, Director of Legislated Services/City Clerk PREPARED BY: Patricia Harris, Manager of Licensing WARD(S) INVOLVED: 1 & 6 DATE OF REPORT: April 1, 2010 REPORT NO.: CRPS-10-041 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR VARIOUS EVENTS IN THE DOWNTOWN DURING 2010 RECOMMENDATION: That the request for the sale of food and/or merchandise on City property during various events being conducted from May to December 2010, listed on Schedule ‘A’ of Corporate Services Department Report CRPS-10-041 be approved, provided the necessary licences are obtained, including Health and Fire approval; and That the request for an exemption from Chapter 450 (Noise) for the events listed on Schedule ‘B’ of Report CRPS-10-041 be granted; and That the request for permission to sell alcohol on City property for the events listed on Schedule ‘C’ of Report CRPS-10-041 be granted and be declared “Community Festivals” for the purpose of applying for a liquor licence. BACKGROUND: City of Kitchener Council policy requires Council’s approval prior to a licence being issued to allow sales to take place on City property. Also, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario requires a Council resolution designating events of Municipal Significance or Community Festivals prior to issuing a liquor licence. REPORT: The Community Services Department has requested permission for various events taking place from May to December 2010. The schedules attached to this report detail the events and the purpose for Council’s consideration. Staff have identified the events that may have higher than average noise and are applying the Council approved process to them, namely, meeting with event organizers in advance and working through options to mitigate noise, (speaker locations, volume, etc.) and to have contacts in place during the event to respond to issues that may arise. Similar requests have been approved in the past for these events. è ó ï FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None ACKNOWLEDGED BY: Troy Speck, General Manager of Corporate Services è ó î Schedule ‘A’ OF CORPORATE SERVICES REPORT CRPS-10-041 REQUEST TO SELL FOOD AND/OR MERCHANDISE ON CITY PROPERTY DATE EVENT LOCATION FOOD MERCHANDISE May 2 Downtown Mudpuppy City Hall/Downtown Yes Yes ChaseStreets – 7 a.m.-12 p.m. May 29 Romanian Canada Day City Hall – 10 a.m. to Yes Yes 9 p.m. June 5 Tri-Pride Day Victoria Park Yes Yes 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. June 4-5 Our World Festival of Victoria Park/Civic Yes Yes Music Concert Square – 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. June 11-12 Silk Road Festival Market – Fri. 2 -10 Yes Yes p.m., Sat. 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 13 Kite Festival Victoria Park Yes Yes 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. June 9-19 Magnetic North Theatre Various Downtown Yes Yes FestivalLocations June 26-27 National Aboriginal Day Victoria Park Yes Yes Gathering (at 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Multicultural Festival) June 26-27 Latitudes Storytelling Victoria Park Yes Yes Festival (at Multicultural 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Festival) June 26-27 K-W Multicultural FestivalVictoria Park Yes Yes 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. July 6, 13, Tooney Tuesdays Civic Square Yes Yes 20 & 27 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. July 9 Cruise Night Victoria Park & Yes Yes Downtown Streets & Market – 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. July 11 Canada-Pakistan Day City Hall Yes Yes 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. è ó í DATE EVENT LOCATION FOOD MERCHANDISE July 16-18 Downtown Kitchener Victoria Park Yes Yes Ribfest & Craft Beer Fri. 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. Show Sat. 12 p.m.-10 p.m. Sun. 12 p.m.-6 p.m. July 24 The Beat Rocks the Forsyth Lot Yes Yes Block 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. July 30-Aug.
