Create new law requiring permits for special events in the city
In Plain English
The city currently has no formal process for managing special events like festivals, parades, or block parties. This new law would require organizers to get permits before hosting events on public property. The permit system helps coordinate with police, fire, and public works to ensure safety and minimize disruption to traffic and residents.
