Origin
Summary
This report responds to the feedback from community groups to remove financial and administrative barriers to hosting neighborhood movie nights in parks to animate parks and engage communities. It also responds to a motion from the April 2017 Parks and Environment Committee to report back on a potential movies-in-the-park program in 2018.
The report seeks authority to include movie nights in the free Arts in the Park permit category.
