Approve the Special Event calendar for 2018 and the recommended venues. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the two separate stage and sound contracts to Southern California Sound, Stage and Lighting Corporation for the Festival of Whales Concert and Concerts in the Park. ISSUES: Establish a preliminary calendar of Special Events sponsored by the City and approve the recommended venues. DISCUSSION: To meet the growing expectations of the residents and visitors to Dana Point, it is necessary to establish a well-balanced events schedule taking place in Dana Point, and to create a calendar for publicity and scheduling purposes. When planning the calendar it is important to avoid competing with other events sponsored by non-profit, or governmental entities. The calendar consists of City events, City co-sponsored events, private/commercial events that pull special event permits, and non-profit fundraising entities. With City Council approval, staff will adapt the proposed calendar of events and secure the necessary venues and finalize contracts.
