A special event petition from Michael Scarbrough of the Chamber of Commerce requesting a permit for a Festival in Memorial Park on September 23 and 24 when the Harley Davidson Tour comes to Tybee Island. Ms. Raamy Brown said that at the Mayor's instruction she called and told Michael Scarbrough he did not have to come to the meeting. Fripp asked the Chief if he had attended the meeting concerning the festival. Price answered no, but that he has no problem with the festival. Sessions said that this is a first class festival. Youmans said that a few of the participants have no idea of what they are doing. Parker asked that the Council agree on the concept. Youmans said they need to appear before Council before any decision is made, as we do not know what Farmer promised them from the City. Sessions said that it is her understanding that Farmer had the authority to grant the request and to deal with the organizers. Fripp said that she agrees and that she will approve small simple request but anything large she likes to put before the Council.

Chief Price said that Tybee could not handle the cars and that he would have to have outside officers to help with traffic and parking. Nunnally said that she will have 40 people watches who will have walkie- talkies and if any problems arise then they will call the police to handle the situation. Parker asked for an estimate of the number of people expected to be attending this concert festival. Nunnally answered that this concert is for the Savannah area and would like to use local sponsors for this open concert. Sessions said that this would be advertised in Dallas, Atlanta and Jacksonville. Parker asked if she had contacted North Beach Grill. Nunnally answered not yet but plans to see him face to face. Nunnally said that she would like to leave a video for Council to look at concerning previous concert. Parker said that his concern was the number of people attending and that the area is in a residential zone. Nunnally said 5,000 at most. Price said that cars are turning around and going back off the island because there is no place to park, we usually have 13,000 cars on Saturdays and between 12,000 to 13,000 on Sundays. Burke questioned the food and beverage aspect of this event. Parker asked about a different location, possibly Grayson Stadium in Savannah. Nunnally said that this is geared for a beach atmosphere. Parker 1 1 said that the City would be glad to talk with you. Nunnally asked that the City write down their concerns and needs.
