  • LFA will provide an occupancy plan, security plan, stage plan, and parking plan that meets the Police Department, Orange County Fire Authority and Building Department requirements; 
  • LFA must comply with the City's approved capacity of attendees, and agrees that the amount of tickets sold and/or comped will not exceed approved capacity. 
  • The City must approve all live entertainment performances for the festival; 
  • The hours of operation will be restricted on Saturday until 10:00 p.m. and Sunday until 9:00 p.m.; 
  • LFA must comply with all restrictions for alcohol beverage sales as approved on the plot plan, which indicates the areas for the sale of alcohol spirits and beer. All alcohol sales must end thirty (30) minutes before the close of the festival each day; 
  • LFA agrees to share eight (8) percent of all gross alcohol sales with the Garden Grove Community Foundation, or a non-profit organization approved by the City; and
  • LFA must complete all additional insurance requirements thirty (30) days prior to the proposed festival. 

The proposed Addendum No. 4 to the Agreement has been approved to form by the City Attorney. 

FINANCIAL IMPACT

LFA will be required to pay an initial payment to the City in the amount of fifty thousand ($50,000) thirty (30) days before the festival event. After the music festival, LFA is to reimburse the City the remainder, if any, of City costs.
