The St. Patrick's Day Liaison Committee has met and Staff has plans well under way for this year's event. FESTIVAL ARTWORK The City has had a tradition of crcating colorful, cyc-catching posters for the St. Patrick's Day Fcstival. In 2005, the main focal point of the poster was a large shamrock filled with four event photos. Prior to 2005, the City had been using the same layout for the poster for the five previous years (2001 - 2004) which featured the festival artwork surrounded by a green border listing the cvent information. This year both postcr layout options havc been prepared for consideration by the City Council. üPtion I Option I would utilizc thc postcr layout that was used prior to 2005 in which an artist rendering is surrounded by a green border listing the event information. Staff has contracted with a local artist to prepare to two different hand drawn artist renditions promoting the charm of the festival.

Thc Parks and Community Services Conunission has reviewed the artwork and recommends eontinuing with the Shamrock design and updating it by ineorporating new photos rrom past events. ROAD CLOSURES The loeations ofthe festival, parade and fun run will be the same general vicinity as last year. The parade will be staged on Amador Plaza Road between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard. The parade route will begin on Dublin Boulevard at Amador Plaza, head east to Village Parkway, north to Amador Valley Boulevard, and west to Donohuc Drive where it will disperse into the Target parking lot. Thc Fun Run will start on Amador Valley Boulevard at Regional Street. Runners will hcad west on Amador Valley Boulevard to San Ramon Road, north to Bellina Drive, and south through the residential neighborboods to finish in the Shamroek Village Shopping Center parking lot. Pre and post race activities will be held in onc comer of the Shamrock Village Shopping Center. The festival will be held on Amador Valley Boulevard between Rcgional Street and Donohue Drivc. However, there are somc ancillary ehanges to the previous year's layout. Thc Dublin Senior Center will house the Conununity Stage, which will provide the first-ever indoor venue for the festival. The Senior Ccntcr Staff parking lot located on the west side of thc building will be blocked off for an added attraction, called Ire'land, which will feature Irish vendors only. The south side of the Senior Center parking lot will be reserved for entertainmcnt and vendor parking. Access to Wicklow Square parking garage will be provided for residents and guests. The small, east sidc parking lot of Anderson's TV will accommodate the carnival rides. These changes are due in large part to the remodeling of the Shamrock Village Shopping Ccntcr. Only a small portion of Shamrock Village's parking lot along Amador Valley Boulevard will be available for the Festival and will be used for a row offood booths. Each year the City Council adopts a resolution to temporarily closc the streets for the events. Vehiclc Code section 21101, subdivision (c), provides that local authorities may, by ordinance or resolution, temporarily close a portion of any street under thcir jurisdiction for "celebrations, parades, local special events, and other purposes" as long as the authorities determine that the closing is ''necessary for thc safety and protection of persons who are to use that portion of tbe street during the temporary closing" Attachment 5 is a resolution authorizing the temporary street closure lor the festival. In addition to authorizing thc tcmporary street closure for the festival, the resolution also authorizes the temporary street closures neccssary for the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk.
