commencement date during the term. Airport legal counsel has
reviewed and approved the lease agreement.

Re: One Hour Waiver of Noise Ordinance at the Augusta Common
June 23, 2017 i Beats on Broad I Augusta Pride 2017
Director Parker,
On behalf of Augusta Pride, Inc., please consider this a request to waive the Augusta-Richmond County
noise ordinance between the hours of 1 t PM and 12 AM midnight on Friday, June 23, 2017, for the 2017 Beats
on Broad concert featuring pop star Bebe Rexha.
Augusta P1ide is set to host its 8th annual Augusta Pride Festival this June 22nd through 25th. Since its
first festival in 2009, the event has grown to become the third largest held at the Augusta Common and has an
annual local economic impact of over $800,000. Augusta Pride also has an excellent relationship with the
Richmond County Sheriffs Office and has had no major law enforcement incidents over its 8 year history.
Moreover, for the last four years, the Beats on Broad concert has been held on the Friday evening of the
festival and has been permitted to run until 12 AM midnight. Since its inception four years ago, to my
knowledge, there have been no noise complaints associated with the Beats on Broad concert, including between
the hours of 11 PM and 12 AM midnight.
Augusta Plide is a well-organized, well-respected, and well-funded professional organization that
responsibly hosts the Augusta Pride festival every year without incident. Granting our modest request to waive
the noise ordinance between the hours of 11 PM and 12 AM midnight will allow Augusta Pride to continue to
host a successful and popular event without undue inconvenience to the downtown area and its residents.
Thank you very much for your consideration, and if you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to contact me.

Analysis:
Financial Impact:
Alternatives:1) Approve the waiver of the noise ordinance. 2) Authorize the law
