Report
Summary
The Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD) regularly receives requests from private entities to license City-owned property to support special events hosted at other City-owned properties. CEDD, in consultation and coordination with the event organizer, will enter into licenses for use of vacant City-owned property in support of those special events. The license fee will be based on market rent and/or other valuable consideration, including to but not limited to maintenance and security of the property. Each license may contain other terms and conditions acceptable to the City based on the use. Each licensee will provide insurance and indemnification acceptable to the City’s Risk Management Division and Law Department.
