Resolution to Approve Street Closing for the NTI Block Party - Monday, August 2, 2010
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve the closing of S. Main Street between William Street and Liberty Street from 3:30 P.M. to Midnight on Monday, August 2, 2010 to stage the NTI Block Party.
The National Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee (NJATC) has held its annual National Training Institute (NTI) in Knoxville, TN for 19 years until 2008. The NTI is a joint program between the National Electrical Contractors Association and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to train qualified workers, and is perhaps the largest apprenticeship and training program of its kind. The NJATC is currently in it's second year of a 3 year contract with the University of Michigan to host the NTI, with an option to renew.
The Block Party, hosted by the Main Street Area Association in conjunction with the Ann Arbor Convention & Visitors Bureau, is intended to attract those associated with the NTI to the downtown area to experience the amenities and attractions that make Ann Arbor the perfect location to continue this program for years to come.
The sponsor agrees to obtain all necessary permits, to provide evidence of proper liability insurance as required, to comply with all City regulations governing the use of the streets and will reimburse the City for all event expenses.
Notification of the street closings will be provided through the City's website.
