12. Request for city waiver of permit fees that do not require city personnel
as outlined at our last presentation, the Chalk Festival is a nonprofit that brings art to Sarasota and has a large economic impact by driving city sales tax revenue and merchant sales
Chalk Festival will be paying for a substantial number of police staff throughout the event
as previously requested, we ask that the commission agree to waive the city permit fees

13. The Road Paved in Art "A Fading Engagement“
proposal related to leaving artwork on road after event
Chalk Festival will promote the “Fading Engagement” on its website and through media outlets
three traffic-calming locations, removing five parking spaces and creating pedestrian viewing locations along Pineapple to allow viewing, will be set up and maintained by Chalk Festival volunteers
suggest lowering of speed limit to 20 mph
suggest signs as shown and discussed with city staff
30-day initial period, subject to discretion of the city manager on shorter or longer time period
Chalk Festival agrees to remove all artwork at the end of the period determined, upon notice from the city manager
