REPORT PREPARED BY: EXHIBITS ATTACHED: RECOMMENDATION: :, \LiP1} Adopt Draft Resolution relating to the Fourth of July Celebration FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: On May 17, 1993, the city of Dublin received a letter from Kathi Schultz, Chairman of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce Business Development Committee (see Attachment 1), in which she explained that the Committee had planned on organizing a Fourth of July Celebration for 1993, but, due to time constraints, were postponing the event. The Committee did request, however, that the city Council waive all fees associated with outdoor sales for those businesses wishing to participate in sidewalk sales during the July 2-5 weekend. Staff discussed the issue of a Fourth of July Celebration with Ms. Schultz, and determined that a sidewalk sale on that weekend could be allowed, similar to the st. Patrick's Day sidewalk sales. Staff developed a Fourth of July Sidewalk Sales Application form (see Attachment 2) to provide guidelines for individual businesses interested in participating in the event. It should be noted that participation in this citywide outdoor sales event would not preclude a business from holding an additional, separate outdoor sales event in the month of July. The Business Development Committee has indicated that the Chamber of Commerce will 1} coordinate the sidewalk sale as a citywide event and 2} be responsible for notifying Dublin businesses of the Fourth of July sidewalk sale (see Attachment 3). Staff recommends the city council adopt the draft resolution (Exhibit A) relating to the Fourth of July Celebration.

RECEIVED MAY 1 7 i993 CITY OF DUBLIN ~1ay 13, 1993 Mayor Peter Snyder Members of the Dublin City Council City of Dublin P. O. Box 2340 Dublin, California 94568 Dear Mayor Snyder & Councilmembers: The Business Development Committee of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce has held two meetings to date to discuss plans for organized sidewalk sales within the City of Dublin. It was suggested that the Fourth of July weekend would be an ideal time for an outdoor sale. Regretably, the Committee has concluded that there is not sufficient time to adequately plan an organized outdoor sale for the Dublin business community. However, we would like to request that the City Council consider lifting the restrictions currently in place as ~/ell as waive all fees associated with an outdoor sale for all businesses wishing to participate in the holiday festivities in the form of a sidewalk sale on the Fourth of July weekend. Another meeting of the Business Development Committee has been scheduled for May 26, 1993 at which time we will consider plans for a Fall sale. We look forward to working with the City to structure a new outdoor sale ordinance which is workable and agreeable to all concerned. Thank you for your consideration of this matter and I look forward to hearing from you soon. x:J4: ;;~/~ KATHI SCHULTZ, Chairman Business Development Committee KS:nf ATTACHMfHT 1 7080 Donlon Way, Suite 110 · Dublin.
