STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS/COUNCIL DECISIONS: 1. The special event committee recommends up to 4 street closures/year upon our review. Any more would have to have Council review. Specific street closures up to discretion of special event committee. Council agreed; however, they noted there should be a GOOD emergency vehicle access plan. Certain streets should NEVER be closed - Durant, Aspen, Mill, Main 2. Leaving Wagner Park as a park and NOT allow any new events there Council feels Wagner Park is a great special event venue and we should allow new special events there if warranted and if the park can take it. Council requested staff come back with how much flooring would cost, storage and installation issues 3. Sponsorship/signage Amend Code to allow car placement/advertisement on public rights-of- way in connection with events. Council Oked this on a trial basis; staff needs to write guidelines incorporating acceptable locations, length of use, size of signs, exclusivity · Amend sign policy to allow more sponsor signage upon public rights-of- way in connection with events. Council requested staff come back with a code amendment to allow X number of signs for X number of total square footage within the venue · Amend light pole policy to allow banners on light poles within the commercial core (not Main street) to make downtown look more festive during events. Council approved allowing banners on light poles in connection with an approved special event. Two blocks of the eventors choice for 7 days · Larger issue of naming rights, official car, etc. of Aspen should be a Council decision Council agreed they did NOT want to sell naming rights, having "official X of Aspen"
