Subject: Comments on Special Events - Section 14.100.0025 (a) Time for filing
To: Los Gatos Town Council
Re: Special Events Amendment "Time for filing"
"The amendment that will be most notable to stakeholders is the proposed modifications to
Section 14.100.0025 (a) Time for filing. This includes reducing the timeline for special event
permit application submittals from 90 days to 60 days and reducing block party application
submittals from 60 days to 30 days. Staff has found that since implementing the new
streamlined event process, applications may be processed more efficiently, event coordinators
have become familiar with the process, and most event applications are for repeat events thus
reducing the time required for processing the permit"
Comment from the Los Gatos Music & Arts:
The Los Gatos Music & Arts organization is in support of shortening the time for filin g
applications submittals for special events. This is a timely move as we feel the proposed
shorter filing periods will be very helpful for community organizations like ours who are up in
the air about scheduling their events due to the Carona-19 pandemic situation.
Los Gatos Music & Arts organizations' number one priority is the wellbeing of our community
members. At this time, we are evaluating our calendar of activities with health and wellness
foremost in our minds. We are committed continuing to providing music scholarships, virtual
streaming concerts and other creative projects at this point in time. Meanwhile, we will rely on
the State, County and Town Government to guide us in scheduling any of our live concert
events, most notably our Jazz on the Plazz summer concert series.
Respectfully,
Teri Hope, President
