MOTION

Animo Ralph Bunche School is sponsoring the "American Idol Viewing Event" on March 25, 2009, from 7:45PM-I0:30PM. Approximately 200 students, staff, parents and neighbors are expected to come out to support contestant and Animo student Allison Iraheta.

Council District Nine has received a request that the City provide certain services and declare this function a Special Event. Approval of this request will mean that an estimated $500 in fees and salary costs will be absorbed by the City (Event Coordinator: Loraine Chong- 213/621-0276 ext. 255 and fax 213/621-4419).

I THEREFORE MOVE that the "American Idol Viewing Event" be declared a Special Event, and City departments be requested to waive all fees and costs, except insurance and application requirements.

I FURTHER MOVE that the Bureau of Street Services be directed to furnish the necessary traffic control devices. These devices will be provided with the understanding that the sponsoring organization will pick up and return them to the Bureau, and remove any debris following this event.

I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Transportation be directed to post "Temporary No Stopping" signs and provide traffic control personnel, if necessary:

Northside of E. 27th Street between Nevin and Long Beach Ave Westside of Long Beach between E. 27th Street and Adams Blvd Eastside of Nevin Ave between E. 27th Street and Adams Blvd Southside ofE. Adams Blvd between Nevin and Long Beach Ave

I FURTHER MOVE that should unforeseen circumstances change the actual date or time of the Special Event, the aforementioned departmental instructions shall conti to apply.
