RESOLUTION No. 2014-025
APPROVING EXCEPTION FROM SECTION 2005.13 OF THE
CITY CODE FOR AN EVENT AT THE HILDE PERFORMANCE CENTER
WHEREAS, the Hilde Performance Center (Hilde) is the home facility of Music in
Plymouth, as well as, many other community concerts and private events; and
WHEREAS, this facility is one of only a few outdoor venues in the State of
Minnesota that has the space and infrastructure that can successfully host top -name
entertainment; and
WHEREAS, the City has opted to collaborate with Sue McLean and Associates, Inc.
as the designated concert manager/promoter because of their connections with top
entertainment talent, and their professional experience with site logistics, ticketing,
marketing and promotion, and overall large event management; and
WHEREAS, staff has tentatively placed a hold on the Hilde Performance Center site
for Friday, June 6, 2014. The concert will be a ticketed event with a targeted attendance
range of 3,000-5,000, which is significantly smaller than Music in Plymouth; and
WHEREAS, the concert event will feature a top named musical performer such as the
"Gear Daddies" or "Tedeschi Tricks Band" that have local and/or regional appeal; and
WHEREAS, because of the caliber, size and scope of this event, ticket sales as well
as ancillary sales of liquor (beer/wine) and food are necessary to offset entertainment and
operational costs to ensure financial viability; and
WHEREAS, to allow for liquor and beer in the park, an exception from Section
2005.13 of the City Code is necessary,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, to approve an exception from Section
2005.13 of the City Code to allow liquor sales at the Hilde Performance Center for a musical
event on June 6, 2014.
