FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 2023
SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF MASS GATHERING PERMIT
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider an extension of the mass gathering permit issued
to Grapevine Mills for Fun Box.
FUNDING SOURCE: NA
BACKGROUND: On August 15, 2023 the City Council approved a Mass Gathering permit
for an inflatable attraction called Fun Box in the parking lot of Grapevine
Mills Mall that is set to expire November 20. The attraction has been very
successful and the Mall would like to extend the permit until January 7 in
order to leverage additional shoppers to the Mall over the Christmas
shopping peak times.
Mr. Joe Szymaszek, the General Manager of Grapevine Mills has made
the request and determined that the Mall has adequate parking to
continue Fun Box without interfering with Mall operations. Fun Box will
continue to operate Friday -Sunday each week and will be held to the
same operating conditions stipulated in the original Mass Gathering
permit. Attached is an email request from Mr. Szymaszek.
Staff recommends approval.
