A bill for an ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the Revised Municipal Code of the City and County of Denver by enacting Article XX to establish the Office of Special Events. Amends Chapter 2 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code by enacting Article XX to establish the Office of Special Events. The Committee approved filing this item at its meeting on 8-4-21.
All right. Well, you go ahead. You're welcome. All right. We'll go ahead and get those up in the queue. All right. Under resolutions, I believe, no items have been called out and under bills for introduction. No items have been called out under bills for final consideration. Council members carnage and Tories have called out Bill 863 for a vote and Councilmember King each has called out Bill 924924 for a vote as well. But it sounded like we wanted to add a few more in there and so we'll go ahead and get those added and then under pending, no items have been called out. We're going to go ahead and pause for a second. It sounds like online we have Councilmember Ortega has her hand up. It's not a president. I just wanted to clarify. On Council Bill 20 10855. The title of the bill refers to it as West 46th Street in Berkeley. But in the description, it's Avenue, and I think it's an important clarification that needs to be made to make sure that's consistent. It should be avenue. All right. Very good. Thank you, Councilmember Ortega, for that clarification. And that was Bill 855 on the introduction. And so we'll make sure to work with the agency if there's anything we need to do and get that corrected when it comes up on second reading. All right, Madam Secretary, it looks like we've got the first item up on our screen here. Council Member Sandoval, would you please put Council Bill 863 on the floor for final passage? I move that council bill 863 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. Thank you. It has been moved and seconded. Councilmember Kenny, your motion to amend. Yes, Council President. I move to amend Council Bill 20 1863 in the following particulars on page one before line 22, insert section two, Dash 407 Dash Special Event. For purposes of this Article x x, the term special event shall mean a temporary event held on public property open to the public involving permitting by and coordination of two or more city agencies. In addition to the Office of Special Events on page one Lane 22, strike 2.407 and replaced with 2-408 on page one lane 27, strike two, dash 408 and replace with 2-409, page two, line 13 after city owned property insert where two or more city departments are involved on page two line 15 strike obtained and replaced with obtain on page two line 15 after from insert any on page two, line 15 strike departments and replace with departments on page two, line 21, strike two, dash 409 and replace with two. Dash 410 on page two, line 23, strike to dash 408 and replaced with 2-409. And on page two, line 27, strike two, dash 410 and replace with 2-4 11. All right, thank you. Councilmember Cooney has been moved and seconded comments by members of Council on the amendment. Councilmember Koinange. Thank you. Council President This amendment came from our discussion in first reading where questions were asked about when or how is it appropriate to add an additional permit and process to some event holders? And, you know, the answer given by the agency with really good intentions was that this wasn't for any routine rental of a shelter for an event in a park. It was where there was a more complex event that involved a park. And right of way or right of way and a special business license or something like that, where there was more complexity in reading the bill during our meeting, the language wasn't quite as clear as the description, and because some colleagues had concerns, I felt like it would be both reassuring to my colleagues as well as best for their record to have the bill clarified. To make very clear this is only for complex permits involving multiple agencies. So that's where all the language around permits is. There were also some typos where cleaning up at the same time for efficiency. So that's what some of the rest of this is. I would defer any further questions if there irony on the substance, but I believe what we're doing is matching the language to the discussion we had just with with a minor word clarification. Thank you. Council president. All right. Thank you, Councilmember Ngige, at speaking to the amendment. Next up, we have Councilmember Torres. But I wanted to remind folks that were commenting on the amendment. At this point, we'll vote on the amendment and then there'll be time to make additional comments on the final bill as amended if that amendment passes. And so I just wanted to share that. And so, Councilmember Torres, I see you've moved to when we vote on the amended bill. Councilmember Hines, did you want to speak on the amendment? Thank you. Council President. I just want to ask one question to Office of Special Events. Is this do you consider this a friendly amendment? Thank you. Thank you. Council president. All right. We had an affirmative from the Office of Special Events that this is a friendly amendment. And so we'll go ahead. Madam Secretary, roll call on the amendment, please. Cashman. I Cashman. I. I. Councilmember Ortega. I. Thank you. Can each. I. Right. Flynn. I. Herndon High. Times, Madam President. I. Madam Secretary, please close the voting and announce the results. 13 eyes. 13 eyes.

Councilmember Torres. Thank you, Madam President. I appreciate the amendment to clear up some of the items. It doesn't relieve, I think, some of the questions that I have. And so I'll still be a no tonight. All right. Thank you, Councilmember Torres. Not seeing any other hands raised. Madam Secretary, roll call on Council Bill 20 10863, please. Cashman. I. Ortega. I.
