Title
Resolution to Approve Street Closings for the 2015 Ann Arbor Art Fairs - July 14, 2015 at 7:00 A.M. Through July 19, 2015 at 7:00 A.M.
Memorandum
The 2015 Ann Arbor Art Fairs are scheduled for July 15-18, 2015. This resolution is for the street closings and related services provided to the sponsors of this annual event. The event is sponsored by five separate organizations, each covering separate but adjacent portions of downtown Ann Arbor. These five areas form the "fair" and are perceived as a single event.
The following are the fees for the 2015 fairs:
Ann Arbor Street Art Fair $ 7,820
South University Area Association 13,121
State Street Art Fair 20,193
Michigan Guild/MSAA 17,419
Washtenaw Non-Profits 300
The fees were calculated by estimating the cost to the City to handle the event and assessing each group a charge based on their percentage of the total right-of-way being closed.
Each organization will be providing insurance in accordance with the City's requirements for use of the public right-of-way.
Coordination of the Event
This event is coordinated through the Mayor's Art Fair Committee so that it will run smoothly and be successful. The applicants from the Art Fair Associations and the Washtenaw Non-Profits are requesting the street closings per the attached map. In addition, the Washtenaw Non-Profits are requesting that fee be retained at the 1997 fee schedule ($300.00) for their organization.
The Art Fair is regulated and addressed in a number of resolutions and ordinances.
