Library Usage For the month of July, 21,370 visitors came through the Library’s doors. Of those thousands of visitors, 266 people signed up for new Library accounts and 665 people renewed their cards. There were 21,851 items that circulated in the month. The Library’s free public internet computers and wireless internet access continues to be a draw for some. The public access computers were accessed 4,450 times. The public Ethernet ports were used 50 times and the wireless internet was accessed 4,450 times. Summer Reading Program The Summer Reading Program (SRP) is one of the busiest times of the year at the Library. The Summer Reading Program is a collaborative effort with libraries around the nation. The Collaborative Summer Library Program is an organization that helps coordinate promotions, themes, ideas, and resources to participating libraries in order to put on a successful program. It is an all-ages program to help promote literacy for school aged children, but done in a way to include every member of the household. One of the goals of the program is for school aged children to continue to read through the summer so there is not a drop off in reading or learning levels once the school year starts again. The theme for this year’s program was “Build a Better World.” Prizes are used as incentives for patrons to participate. This year the Library took on a different format: for every 5 hours a person read, they got to choose a prize depending on a 3 tiered level for every 5 hours read. Once participants reached 20 hours they were entered into a grand prize drawing that was divided by age levels and were eligible to receive a “Build a Better World” Summer Reading t-shirt. 2 This year there was a 13% increase in people that signed up for the program with 1,372 people that registered in 2017 compared to 1,215 in 2016. There was also a 13% increase in numbers of people reading increasing to 751 people in 2017 as opposed to 666 in 2016. The total number of hours read by all 2017 participants was 21,459, a slight decrease from the 2016 number of 21,461. Summer Programs The Library provides story times for children throughout the year. Every Wednesday at 10 AM and 3:30 PM and also on Saturday at 2 PM a different themed story is read to children by the Children’s Department. During the Summer Reading Program, performers are brought in during June and July to help in celebrating the occasion. This year we had magicians, scientists, musicians, puppeteers, archaeologists, the Roswell Fire and Police Departments, and more stop by for these special story times. In addition to these special story times, a Tween craft was held every Thursday during these summer months and a Teen craft was held each month. Adult programs were also held with the Between the Lines Adult Coloring group that meets the first Tuesday of every month. There was also an author visit by Doug Thompson who talked about his book “Underground Ranger” that detailed some of his experiences working at the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. June had 21 programs held with a combined attendance of 984 people. July had a total of 20 programs with a total attendance of 1,143 people. These numbers are higher than normal since there are more programs during the summer in addition to some families having more free time away from school or other school year related activities. Upcoming Events In September, there will be an author visit from Jennifer Tucker and Rutherford Rankin co-authors of the mystery thriller book “Irreparable.” The event will be on September 2nd at 2 PM in the Library Bondurant Room. There will be books for purchase and the authors will be available to sign books after the event. September is also National Deaf Awareness Month and the Library will be recognizing this month with 5 special all-ages workshops every Saturday of September at 3:30 PM. The workshops will be featured on each of the five senses. 3  CITY OF ROSWELL General Services Committee City Hall Conference Room 425 N.

Richardson, Roswell, NM 88202 Wednesday, August 23, 2017 at 3:30 p.m. ACTION REQUESTED: Special Events and Film Policy BACKGROUND: Staff have been working to create a cohesive and more manageable process for reviewing, approving, and supporting special events held within the City. This change in process is meant to improve the experience of the event holder as well as staff and, hopefully, lead to improved events within the City. In order to support the change in process, a guiding policy is needed. This policy has been reviewed by General Services as well as Finance Committee. The changes incorporated into the draft document are reflective of these reviews. Finance Committee will also review this draft at their next meeting. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: A fee schedule for City services is included in this policy. Each event will have fees assessed depending on their needs and requests. The goal with this policy is also to lessen the burden on the City financially in support of many of these events so that basic City services can be funded more appropriately. LEGAL REVIEW: The City Attorney has reviewed this policy. BOARD AND COMMITTEE ACTION: Discuss and consider approval recommendation to the City Council of the Special Events and Film Policy. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve and send to City Council the Special Events and Film Policy as presented. 6  City of Roswell Policy Policy Name: Special Events and Film Effective Date: 8/17/2017 Policy Number: PA0001 Revision Dates: Page 1 of 13 1.0 Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to facilitate events and activities which are safe, enjoyable, and well-coordinated, to provide guidelines by which the reviews, approvals, administration, and implementation of special events are consistent in nature, and attention is given to the use of City resources and infrastructure in support of such activities. The City of Roswell strives to work well with residents, businesses, area organizations, schools, churches, and other entities in the provision of special events. 2.0 General Guidelines and Definitions: In doing so, the City has established a Special Event Team (SET) consisting of representatives from the departments of Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Public Affairs, Public Works, Administration, and other appropriate departments. In addition, the City has appointed the Tourism and Event Manager to be the main point of contact for all special events. The Tourism and Event Manager, as a function of the Public Affairs Department which is ultimately responsible for the coordination and implementation of events, is responsible for accepting applications, reviewing proposals, and working with applicants to ensure that the process is as efficient as possible and the events are in keeping with City guidelines and policies. The City of Roswell is committed to achieving a process that is responsive to the applicant, provides accurate and clear information, and encourages community events that are safe, enjoyable, and well-coordinated. Scope: Events that occur wholly within a park property and do not affect other areas, such as streets, are not required to follow this policy, but will continue to be authorized through a Special UseParks Permit process in the Parks and Recreation Department. Construction related street closures and demonstrations or vigils will also be permitted through the Special UseParks Permit process. Additionally, this policy shall not apply to City-operated event locations, such as the Convention Center, that host events regularly as part of their normal business operations. If these venues are included as part of a larger special event, this policy may apply in those cases. Special Events: Any request(s) by residents, businesses, community organizations, schools, churches, or other organizations to conduct specific activities and events on a non-regular basis that are open and available for attendance by the general public and may impact City operations, services, and infrastructure. City Organized Events: Events organized and facilitated by City of Roswell personnel. No staffing fee will be applied. Accountability. Communication. Excellence. Integrity. Teamwork. 7  City of Roswell Policy Policy Name: Special Events and Film Effective Date: 8/17/2017 Policy Number: PA0001 Revision Dates: Page 2 of 13 City Sponsored Events: Events organized and facilitated by private entities determined by the City of Roswell to warrant significant financial investment from the City and/or require significant facilitation by City of Roswell personnel. Staffing fees may be applied at the discretion of the Special Event Team. City Sanctioned Events: Events organized and facilitated by private entities to provide entertainment or financial benefit to the community without additional financial investment or facilitation from the City, but have been authorized under the terms of this policy to occur. Staffing fees may or may not be applied at the discretion of the Special Events Team. Commercial Filming: Filming for the purpose of creating a final product intended for broad public consumption beyond personal use. Parades: Events that require the blocking of streets for purposes of entertainment progressing down the street for public viewing. Parades provide a unique contribution to the City by promoting community identity and providing cultural enrichment. Block Parties: Events that require the blocking of streets for purposes of neighborhood resident gatherings. Block party events are neighborhood supported events and are designed to assist with creating a sense of community. (For the purposes of this document the term City shall be used to represent both the governmental organization and Special Event Team). 3.0 Application Process: 1. Application Process: The Tourism and Event Manager is available to assist and work with the Applicant during any part of the application process. The process is intended to be convenient to the Applicant and involves several easy steps: a.

Submit application to the Tourism & Event Manager in person, via e-mail, or by fax (575-624-6709). c. The Special Event Team will review the application at its next regular meeting, request follow-up information if necessary, consider the application including costs, if any, and provide a response to the applicant in most cases no later than ten working days from the date of the meeting.

Applicant: Applicants requesting a special events permit must be eighteen (18) years of age or older. 3. Applications: Applications should be completed in full using the approved City application form. To promote effective and timely reviews, applications should be submitted no sooner than one (1) calendar year in advance of the event and no later than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the event. Due to time restrictions, reviews of applications received less than one-hundred twenty (120) calendar days in advance of the requested special event date are not guaranteed to be considered during this time frame. Unfortunately, in most cases, the City is unable to accept applications received less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to a proposed special event date due to time constraints. In cases of commercial filming, the application must be submitted no less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to filming. a. Lodgers’ Tax Funding: Any Applicant who is also applying for Lodgers’ Tax Funding is subject to that policy and the requirements thereof. 4.0 Location of Events: In an effort to promote an enjoyable and safe atmosphere, special events conducted on either public spaces or private property shall be reviewed by the City on a case-by-case basis and evaluated to confirm that the proposed location does not cause a public nuisance, evoke safety concerns, promote the misuse of public resources, or result in any damage to infrastructure. Persons participating in commercial filming activities on private property shall obtain written permission from the property owner prior to completing the permitting application. On-site commercial filming activities beyond the usual hours of 7 AM to 10 PM require special permission of the Public Affairs Department and may incur an additional fee to provide notice to affected residents or business. 5.0 Frequency of Events: As a means to reduce the impact on any particular area of the community, no more than four special events, excluding commercial filming activities, per twelve-month period Accountability.

Under this same philosophy, the total number of special events within the City that require the closure or disruption of City streets and/or pedestrian pathways shall also be limited to no more than four per calendar year within the same general location, excluding the MainStreet Roswell district, without the consent of the City. 6.0 Security: Security of an event should always remain a top priority for both the community and the Applicant. As such, the City of Roswell, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to require event security in all instances in which the City determines circumstances may warrant security in order to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the citizens of Roswell and/or event participants. Private security is required for any special event in which alcohol is served or sold. Security may be required for any event with admission fees and any event in which the anticipated attendance or the planned activity may affect public safety. EMS and fire protection will be required as needed on a case-by-case basis. As a tool for the Applicant, we have included recommended levels of personnel for events that may not require security, but the event holder may wish to provide it as an extra precaution. The Applicant shall be responsible for staffing costs resulting from the use of a security firm or may request to hire or use police officers to provide necessary event security. The Applicant must hire licensed security personnel or peace officers who have jurisdiction within the City of Roswell.
