The Special Events Policy pertains to events and activities on outdoor public property and outdoor facilities hosted by members of the public and follows regulations set forth in Ordinance No. O2024-04-1207. Examples include, but are not limited to: car shows, vendor markets, events that require ticketed admissions, and anticipated traffic disruption.
Campbell Park Facility Rentals or indoor events taking place inside municipal buildings shall follow separate facility rental reservation policies and procedures. Event hosts may wish to also rent such facilities as part of their event as a separate application and agreement.
The purpose of this policy section is to ensure that:
- Special events are safe, enjoyable, and well-coordinated
- Guidelines are provided by which the reviews, approvals, administration, and implementation on Special Events are consistent
- Attention is given to the use of city resources and infrastructure necessary to support such activities
More particularly, it is hoped that this policy will provide for safety, event sanitation and health, and the availability of medical care, fire rescue, and law enforcement services through the creation of public safety event plans and appropriate traffic management plans. The City of Hutchins strives to work with residents, businesses, area organizations, schools, religious institutions, and other entities in the provision of Special Events that are well-coordinated, safe, and enjoyable.
