NOTICE OF REGULAR MEETING OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST. GEORGE,
WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH
Public Notice
Public notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of St. George, Washington County, Utah, will hold a regular meeting in the City Council Chambers at the St. George City Offices located at 175 East 200 North, St. George, Utah, on Thursday, August 31, 2023, commencing at 5:00 p.m.
The agenda for the meeting is as follows:
1. Consider approval of Ordinance No. 2023-017 repealing Chapter 10 of Title 3 of the St. George City Code and reenacting provisions regarding Special Events and to enact Chapter 11 of Title 3 regarding other event permits.
BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: Special events are currently governed by Chapter 10 of Title 3 of the St. George City Code. The provisions and regulations regarding special events have been in place in their current form since the last comprehensive revision adopted in October 2015. There have been minor amendments to specific provisions of those regulations adopted in April 2017 and December 2022. The City Council has recognized that the desire for and utilization of public properties and spaces for events had elevated to create an imbalance with the need to maintain those spaces and provide access to the general public outside of scheduled events. The City Council determined that the effects of the demand for events in public spaces were outpacing the City's ability to properly study and assess the needs processing event applications, the applicability of existing City Code provisions regarding special events and other event types, and the demand and availability of public spaces and properties other than special events and other event types. On March 16, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2023-03-003, by a 3-to-1 vote, a temporarily regulation suspending the permitting or processing of certain Special Event Permits under Title 3, Chapter 10 of the City Code for a period not to exceed six months. While Ordinance 2023-03-003, was in effect, the City Council has held multiple discussions during advertised and public work meetings to consider revisions to the existing provisions regarding special events in Chapter 10 of Title 3 of the St. George City Code and the creation of Chapter 11 in Title 3 to address other event permits. Based on the efforts and input of the City Council during the multiple public meeting work sessions held to develop a new special events program that addresses the concerns and desires of the Council, staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2023-017.
2. Appointments to Boards and Commissions of the City.
3. Reports and updates from Mayor, Councilmembers, and City Manager.
4. Request a closed session to discuss litigation, security, property acquisition or sale or the character and professional competence or physical or mental health of an individual.
