— 2 — January 2, 2003 <br /> January: - Acquire Insurance, submit to Parks Dept. <br /> - Resolve alcohol issue*below <br /> January /Early February: - Negotiate loose ends with Parks Dept, seek official approval. <br /> -We will be filing a non -profit group called "Emerald Empire Hempfest" <br /> February: - Submit a second draft site plan and written details to Parks Dept. <br /> Onwards: - Continue to update Parks Dept. with any changes <br /> Entertainment: <br /> We have no entertainers blocked in at this time, nor have we named a sound provider. Tentatively we <br /> would like to have entertainment at the main stage (See Site Map, North End, faces south) using amplified <br /> sound from 11 am to 11 pm. This stage would be rented and have to be pieced together from trucks sitting in <br /> the parking lot. Plywood could be laid down during construction or for lift- machines. I'm dedicated to working <br /> with the stage crew to make sure turf damage from the stage will be minimal. <br /> The smaller stage will be for public speakers, and comedians during main stage setups. This smaller <br /> stage will use some amplified sound as well. A handicapped only entrance should be incorporated between the <br /> two stages for easy access instead of having to go all the way around (See Site Map). We are willing to negotiate <br /> this entertainment schedule with the Parks Department itself and /or the City of Eugene, as time goes forth, <br /> and enforce the whatever agreement we come to. <br /> Special issues: <br /> Vendors <br /> We plan to make revenue for an event the following year through vendors. We will work diligently to make sure <br /> vendors are within state - health compliance laws. Our concept for organization is to have the vendor rows in <br /> categories with food booths on the ends. A truck tender will potable water will be in the parking lot nearest the <br /> middle of the vendor rows. <br /> Bathrooms <br /> We envision the temporary road and turn around near the shelters to have the bulk of the porta- potty's - since <br /> here they could be serviced during the event if needed. It also could be an option for the vendors to load here <br /> as well. I need to talk to the Park Dept. to find out how bathrooms in the other areas can be serviced by truck <br /> the day before and after. Foot -pump wash stations will be used next to porta - pottty's. A small hand washing <br /> trailer with sinks, mirrors, and hot water would be extra nice. <br /> Medical Marijuana Patients <br /> Legal Oregon Medical Marijuana patients will need a place to use medicine "out of public sight." We <br /> propose a tent -like structure in the back nestled between the trees as the location for this `medication station.' <br /> We are willing to negotiate the location. <br /> Alcohol <br /> We for the most part are against alcohol, but feel it should be a part of the festival, and a vendor could produce <br /> significant revenue. I'm currently communicating with the Wild Duck Brewery on having the brewery be the <br /> single alcohol vendor- in a safe location, and in a cordoned off "garden" if necessary.
