Subject/Title: Closure of Certain Streets to Facilitate the 2002 Hometown Halloween

Submitted by: James Martinez, Police Lieutenant

Approved by: John Stevenson, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION Approval of Resolution authorizing the closure of certain streets and temporarily establishing no parking restrictions and tow away zones in order to facilitate the 2002 Hometown Halloween to be held October 26, 2002.

PREVIOUS ACTION The City Council has authorized the four previous annual events. In 2001, the City Council funded the City’s portion of the total cost ($1,332.47).

BACKGROUND The Brentwood Chamber of Commerce is requesting the closure of certain streets as noted on the attached Resolution for their fifth annual Hometown Halloween.

In 2001, the Brentwood Main Street Committee held its fourth annual Hometown Halloween in the Brentwood downtown and City Park area. The event included a hayride, haunted house, and children “trick or treating” to local businesses along the Oak Street corridor. Attendance at the event was estimated to be in excess of 4,000 people. The total police personnel cost for the 2001 event was $1,332.47. Attached is a map outlining the event location and the streets that will be affected.

FISCAL IMPACT The Police Department will deploy one supervisor, one police officer, two community service officers, and one reserve officer. In addition, volunteers (BACUP and Explorers) will be used at various locations in the event. The estimated cost of police services for the event is $975.

Actual personnel and equipment costs cannot be determined until the event has concluded. The personnel cost estimates included in this report are based on projected manpower availability and a safe and orderly event no requiring additional or unexpected police or other city services. Cost estimates do not include personnel or equipment costs by other city departments.
