Fee

A fee of $25 per event must be paid when the application is submitted.  If the event is held on multiple days for instance every Wednesday for a period of 1 month, the fee of $25 would need to be paid for every date.

Committee Representation

The agent of the establishment or a designated representative must present the Operating Plan to the Ordinance and License Committee (O&L) and, if deemed appropriate, to the Buildings and Grounds Committee. It is the intent of the O&L Committee not to allow Extensions of Premise to public property without the express input an approval of the Building and Grounds Committee.

Block Parties

The O&L Committee does not consider an Extension of Premise a Block Party. The Committee defines a Block Party as an event intended for residential neighborhoods only.

Considerations

The O&L Committee will examine all information and consider the following:

• Impact on the neighborhood, including:
  • Comments from alderperson and neighbors
  • Hours of operation
  • Music
• Past problems
• Police concerns
