ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
of the
CITY MANAGER
EMERGENCY RULE - DETECTIVE/SECURITY AGENCY
FINDINGS:
A. A Bob Dylan/Grateful Dead concert has been scheduled for
Autzen Stadium on July 19, 1987.
B. It is anticipated that a large crowd, estimated at
approximately 40,000 persons, will attend the concert.
C. Festivities such as this event present unique problems
of crowd management and control, and will require the services of
approximately 150 private security personnel.
D. Creative Security, Inc. has sufficient personnel who
have been specially trained in crowd management and has provided
security services for similar events in the past. POlice, Fire &
Emergency Services personnel advise they have worked with Creative
Security, Inc. in the past, been impressed with the expertise of
its employees in large crowd situations, and indicate utilization
of personnel with this degree of training will lessen the demand
on City police personnel. The sponsor of this concert, Double T
Productions, has engaged the services of Creative Security, Inc.
in the past, and wish to use it for this concert as well. The
University of Oregon has also expressed interest in hiring Crea-
tive Security, Inc. to provide security for the University run
campground which will be provided in conjunction with the concert.
E. None of the currently licensed security agencies within
the City have a sufficient number of employees specially trained
in this type of crowd management and control to meet the estimated
need.
F. Rule B. 2 of the Detective and Security Agency Rules
adopted December 23, 1985 requires a fee of $25.00 for certifica-
tion of each detective or security officer. Compliance with this
requirement for this single event would place a severe and undue
financial burden on Creative Security, Inc., and the fee should be
reduced to $5.00, which will, in this instance, reimburse the
City I S expense in performing background police checks since all
personnel have been previously checked by another jurisdiction.
Security officer Certification cards issued under this emergency
rule will be effective only for th duration of the time Creative
Security, Inc. is retained to provide security services for either
the Bob Dylan/Grateful Dead concert or the associated University
of Oregon sponsored campground.
G. Failure to act promptly to authorize a reduction in the
certification fee may result in Creative Security, Inc. declining
Emergency Rule - 1
to act as security personnel for the concert or being unable to
guarantee the presence of a sufficient number of specially trained
personnel. Without the services of qualified private security
personnel to assist in crowd management and control an extreme
burden will be placed on City police personnel, and it is in the
public interest that private personnel be employed.
H. Adoption of this emergency rule is authorized by the
provisions of Section 3.012(5) of the Eugene Code, 1971.
I. This emergency rule is necessary in order to ensure that
an adequate number of specially trained personnel are available to
assist City police with crowd management and control at the con-
cert.
Therefore, based upon the above findings, which are hereby
adopted, and pursuant to the authority contained in Section 3.012
(5) :
Rule B. 2 of the Detective and Security Agency Rules adopted
on December 23, 1985 is hereby amended to provide that for pur-
poses of providing security personnel for the Bob Dylan/Grateful
Dead concert on July 19, 1987, and related activities, the certi-
fication fee for each security officer of Creative Security, Inc.
is the sum of $5.00.
Except as herein amended, all other provisions of the above
referred to Detective and Security Agency Rules, as well as the
provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971, remain in full force and
effect and applicable to Creative Security, Inc.
Dated and effective this ~ day of
Emergency Rule - 2
