MEMORANDUM

From: Terry Lambert ?,"'~ (~ f!l:i:J}

Subject: Dram Shop Relocation
INTRODUCTION
The "Dubuque and All That Jazz" outdoor concerts on Town Clock Plaza have two dates
remaining on their schedule for this year, Friday August 18, and Friday September 1,
2000. These concerts have become more successful each year and are drawing
increasingly larger crowds. It became apparent at the July concert that one specific area
has become overwhelmed by the numbers of people who concentrate there for much of
the evening. Some public safety concerns have resulted that are described ill this
memorandum.
BACKGROUND
Thc concerts have been held since 1992. Over the years they have become increasingly
popular and attendance has also increased accordiltgly. To accommodate the larger
crowds Dubuque Main Street Ltd. has added food vendors and porta-potties, and the
Jaycee's have added beer tents. They now hold dram shop licenses for three beer tents.
One of the beer tents, designated as "tent B," has been located in front of Trilog directly
east of the Town Clock. Ticket sales and one food vendor are also located there, and the
crowd congestion is significantly heavier than in the other areas of the Plaza where food
and beer are sold. It has become a body of people that does not thin out during the course
of the event, and prevents reasonable passage of foot traffic between Trilog and the
Clock.
DISCUSSION
The two main concerns identified by Fire Marshals Scott Ncyens and Mike McMahon,
and Captain Paula Gieseman from the Police Department are: (I) that EMS could not get

into or move through the area if they needed to respond to a call for illness or inj ury of
someone in that part of the Plaza, and (2) that any type of disturbance or panic which
could OCCur in the crowd would result in people being trampled and more injuries
occurring than might otherwise happen if we take steps to reduce the concentration of
people at that juncture.
Scott, Mike, and Paula believe that the beer tent is the biggest attraction at that spot.
They have met with Dan LoBianco from Main Street Ltd., and with representatives from
the Jaycee's and Kirchoff Distributing. Paula has also talked willi the State ofIowa
Alcoholic Beverages Division and Sue Winter in llie City Clerk's Office. Everyone is
prepared to move "tent B" approximately 120 feet south on the Plaza, beginning 1his
Friday August 18, 2000, to help relive the congestion. Alliliat is required is the approval
ofthe City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that you ask the Council to approve this change of location and the requisite
amendment to the Jaycee's license and insurance, which have been arranged to this point.
