MUSIC FESTIVAL 8/14/99 Diamond's Sport's Bar 2 p.m. - 10 p.m. The festival was attended by approximately twenty two hundred persons. All provisions of the special use permit were adhered to by Diamond's. Particular emphasis was placed on Hwy 10 traffic control, on site parking, internal security and liquor sales. Ramsey Police Officers and Public Safety Aides attended to all traffic details on public roadways and were present on site all during the concert. On site parking was under the direction of a private security firm hired by Diamond's. This firm specializes in security at large public gatherings held outdoors and in large stadiums or auditoriums. All persons passing through the gate were required to present photo identification, at which point a blue plastic bracelet was placed around the wrist of all persons twenty one or older. Those under twenty-one received a red bracelet. No liquor was sold to anyone not displaying the proper bracelet. Both private security and police officers monitored the guests for purchase and possession of alcohol. The site easily accommodated the parking needs of guests. About fifty percent of the available parking was utilized. No criminal violations were observed by Ramsey officers nor were they summoned by either Diamond's employees or private security to deal with rowdy or uncooperative guests.
