Alcohol: Organizer will apply for a Temporary (Picnic Beer) License for beer sales and a Beer Selling Permit from Parks.

 

Park Use:  Organizer is required to hire a professional electrician (Journeyman level or higher) to connect and disconnect the event electricity. Organizer will need a key for the restroom building in order to access the electricity. A key may be obtained when the electrician organizer hires meets with the park’s electrician. Contact Parks Electrician, Paul Janes at pjanes@cityofmadison.com or 608-209-3578.

 

Parks Use: New electrical pedestal instructions.

 

Park Use: Organizer must comply with the attached “McPike Park Staking Policy” in regard to placing temporary structures on the Great Lawn. 

 

Temporary Structures: If using temporary structure(s) (e.g. tents, stages, inflatable structures, etc.), organizer will contact Digger’s Hotline (811) approximately ten days before 6/22/19 and will get the Ticket Number for the location to the Parks Office.

 

Damage Deposit: Organizer will leave a $3000.00 refundable damage deposit with the Parks Office and agrees to be responsible for any damage to the park that occurs as a result of the event. This can be done via check or charge, but it must be separate from your invoice payment.

Park Use: Organizer is responsible for keeping attendees off railway right of way at all times. A plan must be submitted with the event application. If attendees are observed in the railway right of way, then Parks Division staff will take over enforcement of safety and organizer will be charged a rate of $75 per hour per staff for the remainder of the event. This cost will be taken out of the security deposit. Failure to keep attendees off the railway right of way will be taken under consideration of the event application in future years.

 

Amplified Sound: A PA2 permit will be issued for amplification. Sound shall be limited to 95 decibels (dB) at the sound board or 125’ from the amplification source if no sound board is present. Amplification will be allowed from 10:00am-11:00pm for the June 22 session, 10:00am-10:00pm for the June 23 session, and 4:00pm to 10:00pm for all other dates. Sound will be monitored by Parks staff with an octave band meter. If readings are above 95 dB during the measurement period, non-compliance action will commence.

                     Non-compliance action

A warning will be given to comply with the conditions of the PA2 permit. If a second warning is required, a citation will be issued to the responsible party for violation of MGO 8.29. A third violation will result in the amplification being ordered to cease immediately.
