I will also be getting our nationals to cover the Liability Insurance portion of the application process and I will send you all that information when I get it back!

Some highlights I have in the application will be for me to work with y'all on getting some parking spaces around Hancock Park blocked off for vendors, artists, and Public House topark, having the the Hancock Park bathrooms open for use, and obtaining fencing aroundHancock Park for it to be blocked off from outsiders and for the use of having a barrierbetween the stage and attendees, and lastly, obtaining a table for Public House.

The information in the application and the diagram will hopefully make the vision more clear. Thank you all for helping me with this and I am excited to hear back from you all andcontinue the process!

Change to Open Container Footprint for the D ahlonega Main Street ’s First Friday Concert Series 202 6 PRESENTED BY: Ariel Alexander, Director, Dahlonega Main Street Program AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION Proposal to suspend the enforcement of open containers in a specific area at the Main Street First Friday Concerts so that attendees may carry their alcoholic beverages within the proposed location for the dates of May 1, June 5, July 3, Augus t 7, September 4, and October 2, 202 6, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

HISTORY/PAST ACTION In 2025, the Dahlonega City Council voted to approve a change to the open container footprint to allow alcoholic beverages to be served in Hancock Park for the 2025 First Friday Concert Series. Staff monitored the program and, in January 2026, created a n operational policy to streamline the vendor application process and ensure compliance with park requirements. The operational policy covers items such as serving in c lear plastic cups, time to stop serving, and application deadlines.

FINANCIAL IMPACT Staff recommend having one Dahlonega Police Department officer present at each event to ensure compliance and safety. The vendor will not be responsible for this cost.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend suspending the appropriate ordinances for this event.

SUGGESTED MOTIONS I make a motion to suspend enforcement of the open container laws of the City of Dahlonega , including but not limited to the following: The Code of the City of Dahlonega, Georgia, Chapter 22, Article II, Section 22 - 32, Section 22 -33, Section 22 -34, Section 22 -35, within the geographical area set aside for alcohol sales and consumption within th at certain boundary designated by the D ahlonega Main Street Program for the First Friday Concert Series, the

22 -35, within the geographical area set aside for alcohol sales and consumption within th at certain boundary designated by the D ahlonega Main Street Program for the First Friday Concert Series, the duration of the suspension to run concurrently with each event date and time .

T he city’s current ordinance Sec. 123 -8.(f), covering holiday lighting , does not address LED light standards on states white/clear UL approved type lighting. The standard of lighting for Old Fashioned Christmas is warm lights. LED lighting which has a white/clear “bulb” can emit a blue hue depending on the temperature of the light. Such a blue/cool tone does not meet the intent of the warm light/old fashioned look for downtown during the holiday season. LED lights colors are set on the Kelvin Color Temperature Scale. It is my recommendation that Chapter 123 -8. (f) be updated to reflect the following standards: outdoor lighting should be between 1,500 – 3,200 on the Kelvin Color Temperature Scale Chart. A basic LED reference example of this is 2,000K – 3,000K. Based on research, this parameter most closely aligns with the warm color desired by leadership and the OFC.

FINAN CIAL IMPACT n/a RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of staff that the ordinance be amended to include the Kelvin Color

t closely aligns with the warm color desired by leadership and the OFC.

FINAN CIAL IMPACT n/a RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of staff that the ordinance be amended to include the Kelvin Color Temperate Scale of 1,500K -3,200K with a basic LED reference of 2,000K -3,000K.

b. In the event that a court should adjudge any part of this subsection of the chapter a viol ation of the Georgia or United States Constitutions or any other provision of law, it is the specific intent of the city council that this provision referencing a limitation to noncommercial speech or commercial speech that pertains to a commercial enterpr ise located on the property be omitted from the chapter and the remainder of the chapter stay in effect to regulate signs on property within the city.

Requests were made to move them of f the asphalt and not close streets/block parking every Saturday for the market. Some products sold at the market need shade and/or separation from heat sources such as asphalt during warmer weather. Staff is seeking direction from the council on where to locate this program. There are already rentals for Hancock Park on the following dates:  May 16 (Dahlonega Arts and Wine Festival)  June 6 (Art in the Park)  July 4 (City 4th of July)  September 5 (Art in the Park)  October 3 (Art in the Park)

or Hancock Park on the following dates:  May 16 (Dahlonega Arts and Wine Festival)  June 6 (Art in the Park)  July 4 (City 4th of July)  September 5 (Art in the Park)  October 3 (Art in the Park) Moving the market from location to location creates confusion and could cause us to lose vendors. Providing a set location which can be advertised will help ensure the success of the program and the ancillary benefits to having this program in our community.
