A. Plan Civic Center Campus Layout for Spring Performing Arts Event
Commissioner Loudon gave an overview of the use of the amphitheater and reserved
seating for the City Council and their guests. There should be an area roped off in
front of the amphitheater for 35 people.
Discussion regarding the restaurants took place with eight foot booths being lined
along the eastern walkway of the gazebo. Desert Sage will be placed near the
electrical outlet. Staff reminded the Commission that extension cords should not be
placed on the sidewalks, so as to not provide a trip hazard.
Staff will assign restaurant spaces and notify the restaurants that they should begin
setting up by 3:00 p.m.
Artists will line up approximately 4 feet from the edge of the south side of the lake.
