(April 4, 2017) -- City Hall's new operator/lessee for the Queen Mary is requesting City Council approval for a Special Event Permit to operator "professional boxing/wrestling contests and/or exhibitions."

The item is scheduled for the City Council's April 11 Council "consent calendar" (meaning it won't be discussed separately unless a member(s) of the public seeks to discuss it or a Councilmember(s) pulls it for separate discussion and voted action.)

In an agendizing memo, city management states:

Urban Commons Queensway, LLC (Urban Commons), has submitted a completed Special Event Permit Application for the inaugural Royal Rumble (Event) at the Queen Mary on June 10, 2017, with additional Event dates on July 22, 2017 and September 16, 2017, followed by four to be determined Event dates in 2018.

The proposed Special Event Permit will allow Urban Commons to operate professional boxing/wrestling contests and/or exhibitions in the Sea Walk, Area 6, and the parking lot adjacent to the Queen Mary ship. The proposed Special Event Permit grants Urban Commons permission to operate the Event, and establishes the conditions and fees for their use. The ring/cage configuration will be a temporary structure that accommodates approximately 1,500 people, and will be set up one to two days in advance of each Event and removed within two days at the conclusion of each Event.

Health and Human Services, Police and Fire Departments staff will be present during all Event hours and shall perform continual inspections of the permitted areas.

The City shall receive and keep on file an original or certified copy of the permit or license required and issued by the California State Athletic Commission for the Event...

TIMING CONSIDERATIONS

City Council action is requested on April 11,2017, to expedite the issuance of the Special Event Permit.

FISCAL IMPACT

Special Event permit fees of $1,020 per day will be assessed under the Special Event Permit, and will be deposited into the Special Advertising and Promotion Fund (SR 133) in the City Manager Department (CM). The City shall be reimbursed for all City services associated with the Event. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
