WHEREAS, the City of Tybee Island, Georgia (hereinafter the "City") has adopted a
revised special events ordinance, No. 2017-04-A; and
WHEREAS, the City possesses police powers under the laws of the State of Georgia and
the City Charter and ordinances; and
WHEREAS, as amended, Ordinance 2017-04-A, now codified at Tybee Island Code 54-
70, et seq., authorizes the City, through the Mayor and Council, to impose restrictions and to take
appropriate action where an unpermitted special event or assembly is being promoted and where
it appears that those involved in generating the media promotion and entertainment ads for the
unpermitted event are disregarding the City requirements for securing permits and are not taking
appropriate measures to lessen the impact on public safety concerns and the burden on municipal
services, including but not limited to police, parking control, traffic considerations and debris
removal; and
WHEREAS, the ordinance authorizes the Mayor and Council, to take action upon a
report to it that an unpermitted event is being promoted, advertised and published on social
media and which indicates to the Mayor and Council that there is an immediate risk to the public
safety/welfare, citizens and property of those participating in the event, visitors, and the residents
of the City; and
WHEREAS, Council has previously passed a resolution prohibiting the use of outdoor
amplified music for certain periods of time; however, recent social media promotion has
indicated that an unpermitted event is being promoted for the weekends of April 13-15, 2018 and
April 20-22, 2018 and that such promotions are including references to the outdoor consumption
of and the public consumption of alcoholic beverages being expressly authorized during such
periods raising threats or risks to the public safety, welfare, citizens and property of those
participating in the unpermitted event, visitors and residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the amplified music as prohibited in the Resolution of Council
passed on the 11h day of January, 2018, Council finds that it has now been determined that the
weekends of April 13, 2018 beginning at 12:01 a.m. and continuing until 12:01 am on April 16,
2018 and beginning at 12:01 a.m. on April 20, 2018 and continuing through 12:01 a.m. on April
23, 2018 are being actively promoted for an unpermitted event or events and that, therefore,
immediate action is necessary in order to protect the public safety and welfare of those
participating in the events during such timeframe as well as visitors and residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, the timing of the event commonly referred to as "Orange Crush" is often
uncertain in that it is frequently promoted at different dates, including promotion by professional
agents or promotors in connection with other events located outside the City and, therefore, there
