Dallas police and city officials on Monday proposed new requirements for people who plan to promote and make a profit from large unpermitted events in an...
Under the new, proposed ordinance, “commercial promoters” — or those who advertise an event that isn’t permitted — would be required to pay a fee and register with the city.
Events that fall under the proposed ordinance are those that aren’t permitted and which involve commercial promotion. The ordinance stipulates that they must be indoor events with a certain crowd side — the exact number hasn’t yet been determined — or outdoor events that are “of a public nature.” Examples include music shows, concerts, outdoor activities and other performances where fees are charged to vendors or event attendees.
The promoted events would also require an approved safety plan with details including the type of event, expected crowd size, crowd and security management, medical and first aid, noise abatement strategies and alcohol licenses, if applicable. Venues may have a general safety plan on file, or may need an event-specific safety plan.
Promoters and venue operators who violate the proposed ordinance would also be responsible for costs incurred if the event results in any emergency response. Those who violate the ordinance could face a fee of up to $2,000. Police and city officials are considered a tiered approach for repeat offenders.
