6-11-26: URGENCY ORDINANCE:
It has come to the attention of the city council that there is a proposed music festival to be held within the next thirty (30) days in the city. There is at present no ordinance regulating this type of activity. Without an ordinance regulating music festivals and large outdoor public gatherings, there is no adequate safeguard that proper sanitary facilities will be available or that proper precautionary measures can be taken to care for crowd control, police and fire protection, and that sufficient money or surety bond be available to compensate any property owner for possible property damage. For the above reasons, this chapter is necessary for the public health, safety and welfare, and is therefore declared to be an urgency ordinance. (Ord. 1001, 4-27-1971)
