§ 11.07.010. Findings.

A.

The Board of Supervisors finds as follows:

1.

Large scale events can pose a variety of health and safety risks to the attendees of these events;

2.

These events can drain critical resources such as law enforcement, fire, emergency medical response and emergency room services;

3.

Threat assessments should be conducted in order to minimize these risks;

4.

Where the threat assessment leads to a determination that there is a strong probability that loss of life or harm to attendees can occur, then an event action plan shall be required in order to minimize the strong probability of loss of life or harm through adequate health and safety planning to reduce the risk associated with the event; and

5.

Annual fairs controlled by the Food and Agricultural Code and certain other large scale events held in venues such as theaters with assigned seats should be excluded from this process as they do not tend to pose the kinds of health and safety risks this ordinance is intended to address.
