A portion of the agenda deals with the obstacles and impediments of holding an event and the subsequent codes for said event. A portion of the agenda reads:
Obstacles/Impediments
• The Code sections related to special events is difficult to read and can be confusing.
• In some cases, the regulations are overly burdensome, time consuming and expensive for
simple events that do not impact surrounding properties.
• In other cases, the regulations do not adequately address large-scale events that require
additional services from emergency responders, such as the Sheriff, Fire Department,
Paramedics, and Public Works. This is an important consideration for public safety.
