Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: Parking for the Arts Festival PURPOSE To request approval from the City Council to allow for free parking in all City-operated pay parking facilities during the Elgin Fine Arts Festival. BACKGROUND The Elgin Fine Arts Festival is scheduled to be held August 27, 28 and 29 . On August 27, the kick-off event will be an evening concert by the Elgin Symphony Orchestra. Activ- ities on August 28 and 29 will take place all day. The festi- val will provide entertainment and activities to acquaint the public with different art forms and encourage future partici- pation in the arts. Except for performance of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra in Hemmens, all events and activities will be free. Last year the festival drew an estimated 5,000 people over the two days. In order to accommodate the parking needs of festival-go- ers, downtown parking lots will be promoted for festival parking. In order to provide an additional incentive to attend the event, festival planners see an advantage to offer- ing free parking. This would include those lots and facili- ties which are normally attended on Saturday and for which there is a charge for parking. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City would lose the revenue for the parking on Satur- day, August 28. Using April, 1993 as a sample, average reve- nue from Saturday parking at attended parking facilities (Civic Center parking lot and Spring Street parking deck) was $896 .75. Mayor and Members of the City Council May 26, 1993 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that no fee be charged at attended lots on Saturday, August 28, 1993. LaM L.
