SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Staff recommends amending section 7-1-5(D) in the Erie Municipal Code and replacing it with the attached ordinance, which will reduce the required submission/filing date for block party permits from 30 days to 10 days prior to the event. Staff has determined that requiring an application to be filed 30 days prior to an event causes some events to go ahead unpermitted and requiring only 10 days prior should enhance compliance with the municipal code and create a more efficient process.
The ordinance will go into effect approximately 30 days after approval by the Board of Trustees.
