Title
Resolution to Update the Approval for the Third Thursday of July Annually as the Opening Day of the Ann Arbor Art Fair, to Approve Street Closings for the Annual Ann Arbor Art Fair, to Affirm the Requirements for Temporary Outdoor Sales, Service and Consumption of Alcohol and the Standards For Temporary Outdoor Sales on Private Property, and to Affirm the Allocation of Fees Among the Art Fair Organizations
Memorandum
The 2022 Ann Arbor Art Fair is scheduled for July 21-23, 2022. Four separate organizations, each covering separate but adjacent portions of downtown Ann Arbor, sponsor the annual event.
Historically, City Council has been presented with one or more resolutions in connection with the closure of streets, temporary outdoor sales and use of the public right-of-way in connection with temporary liquor licenses and regulations of quadricycles and other traffic issues during the designated dates for the Art Fair. For the 2022 Art Fair, the City Administration worked with a committee representing each of the four fair organizations to identify issues that impact the Art Fair as a whole thereby providing both the City and the respective Art Fair Directors with a uniform planning tool for identifying needed services and proper allocation of City fees between the organizations for 2022 and subsequent Art Fairs.
The attached resolution specifically addresses the following:
? Timing of the Art Fair
? Established boundaries for Art Fair
? Use Restrictions of City streets and right of way during the Art Fair
? City services for which fees will be assessed and allocated between the organizations that sponsor the Art Fair
The proposed resolution is recommended for Council approval.
