City of Jeffersonville
W Special Event Application
'ARso_
Any individual, business or organization planning a special event on any property
owned by the City of Jeffersonville, or is requesting any type of city services for the
event, a Special Event Permit must be issued. The permit application should be submitted at least 60
days prior to the event in order to be considered. This application must be completed in its entirety.
Any applications not properly completed will be denied.
The applicant is required to attend a multi-departmental Special Events Committee meeting, which
takes place each month at Jeffersonville City Hall on the first Tuesday of the month at 10:00 AM. An
invitation to the meeting will be emailed once the application, route plan and/or site plan is
received. To be placed on the agenda, email your completed Event Permit Application and
documents to:parksinfo@cityofieff.net
This is the first step in a two-step process. Once the Special Events Committee has reviewed it, it will
be taken to the Board of Public Works for final approval.
SITE PLAN
Applications must include a detailed site plan which clearly shows all temporary structures including
but not limited to tents, portable toilets, stages, bleachers, dumpsters, fencing, inflatables, etc. at
the time of submission.
PERMIT FEE
All events approved by the Committee will be charged a non-refundable permit fee, which will be
based on the need for city services and determined at the committee's discretion. The permit fee
base rate is $150, but may be increased based on the need for city services, risk assessment and
other factors. This applies to individuals, businesses and non-profit organizations. The fee also is
applied for events that are "sponsored" by the City of Jeffersonville or one of its departments. The
fee is payable by cash, check, money order, or credit card. Permit fees are due 14 days after the
event is approved.
INSURANCE
Event host must provide a current Certificate of Insurance that lists the City of Jeffersonville as
additional insured. The policy must include at least $1,000,000 for general liability coverage. Any
vendors for said event serving food, beverages, or alcohol must also provide a COI that lists the City
as additional insured. The Committee has the right to require additional coverage as it sees fit or
terminate an event if requirements are not met. All COIs are due at least 30 days prior to the event
date. Failure to turn in COIs by the deadline may result in the event permit being revoked.
SECURITY
Most events approved by the Committee are required to have security on-site during all operating
hours. The number of guards required will be determined by the committee, based on an event
safety assessment—estimated attendance, alcohol service, risk factors, etc. The Committee may
waive the security requirement for small events with minimal risk. Security must be contracted with
the companies that are currently approved by the committee, Vigilance Security or Spartan Security.
The security contract/invoice must be turned in to the Committee at least 30 days prior to the
event date.
*The Jeffersonville Police Department does not provide security for events. Their role is limited to
enforcing laws and facilitating street closures.

catering license and is currently approved by the committee—The Alcove, Ramiro's Cantina or Pearl
Street Taphouse. The event must also adhere to the following guidelines:
• ATC Catering Permit for the event on the specified date(s)
