§ 26-31. Green event certification required.

(a)

No person shall organize any medium or large scale event on city-owned property or requiring a right-of-way permit without having first obtained a green event certification. No person shall organize any medium or large scale event receiving city funding or sponsorship which is valued at half or greater of the total event costs without having first obtained a green event certification.

(b)

All medium scale events at city-owned property or requiring a right of way permit must obtain a certification of "silver" or higher. All large scale events at city-owned property or requiring a right of way permit must obtain a certification of "gold" or higher. Events receiving city sponsorship which is valued at half or greater of the total event costs must obtain a certification of "platinum" or higher.

(c)

Event venues can apply to the director for listing as certified green event facilities. Event organizers that are using the green event certified facilities would not need to complete the scorecard unless they wish to be recognized for higher levels of certification than the event facility includes.
