Louisville City Council Meeting February 18, 2003 Page 3 APPROVAL OF LICENSE AND IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE MAIN STREET LOUISVILLE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR USE OF STEINBAUGH PROPERTY (824 Front Street) Sisk called for Staff presentation. Deputy City Manager Julie Boyd reviewed the draft of the License and Improvement Agreement between the City of Louisville and the Main Street Louisville Business Improvement District (BID). She reported the Downtown Business Association (DBA) has requested the use of the property located at 824 Front Street, as part of the summer Street Faire. She stated the City Staff would remove the equipment remaining in the old barn and the DBA will remove the metal siding, build a stage and wire the building for sound and lighting. The building is to be known as the "Steinbaugh Pavilion", and would provide shelter for bands booked for the Street Faire. The DBA has contracts for well- known local bands and a professional sound engineer for all ten nights. Staff is requesting Council approval to continue working with the BID on the License and Agreement and for authorization for the Mayor or Mayor Pro-Tem to finalize the agreement. Boyd explained the DBA would pave the parking area to be used for tables, a beverage area, and a dance area, and install a storage building in the back comer for booths and other equipment for the Street Faire. She explained the draft has minor issues to be resolved; one is the requirement of the BID to obtain insurance. The agreement is effective for a period of time when the improvements would be made to the facilities, and for the ten days of the Street Faire. The facility would be available for other groups to use if Council desires. She reviewed the key elements of the agreement: · Property will serve as the liquor-licensed premises for the Street Faire. · Street Faire activities will end at 10:00 p.m. · City will be responsible for removal of trash after the Street Faire, and will pay the electricity for the events. · The BID will, with licensed contractors and volunteer workers, make the improvements to the property, which will then be maintained by the City. · The BID has permission to use the facilities through December 31, 2005. Nancy Love 841 Front Street, Louisville, CO, President of the DBA, clarified the DBA is asking that the license and agreement be made with the BID for litigation of liability. She explained the DBA obtained insurance last year for the Street Faire, and is having it transferred to the BID. She thanked the Council and Staff for working on the project. COUNCIL COMMENTS Levihn asked for clarification that Council is approving the draft. He also asked if the request for trash collection is consistent with what is done for other events. Sisk stated his understanding that Council will authorize the Mayor or Mayor Pro-Tem to sign the final license and improvement agreement.
