INTRODUCTION
This report is submitted to City Council requesting approval of a street closure for the proposed “EqualizeHer Now!” and Live Nation street fair located at the 9300 Block of Civic Center Drive, and permission to use the City of Beverly Hills Shield for associated marketing materials. This inaugural event is to be held on Saturday, December 3rd adjacent to Live Nation and UTA, and is intended to build a collaborative community of powerful young women to create opportunities in various music industry fields such as producers, songwriters, managers, engineers, and artists.

At the September 21, 2022 Beverly Hills City Council Liaisons/ Rodeo Drive/ Special Events/ Holiday Program Committee meeting, Linda Perry and the “EqualizeHer Now!” team met with City Council Liaisons Mayor Bosse and Councilmember Friedman to seek support for a temporary street closure and use of the Beverly Hills Shield for a free and public event. It should be noted that during the meeting, the Liaisons provided direction to support the street closure and Shield request, and also recommended that the event organizers encourage attendees to patronize local Beverly Hills restaurants after the street fair concludes at 5pm. City staff will work with the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce to obtain copies of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce Restaurant Guide to share with event attendees.

It is important to note that the Community Services Department will also be hosting a public daytime Holidays at Greystone event on Saturday December 3, 2022 (as well as Sunday December 4, 2022). The Liaisons recommended that Community Development Department staff work with the City’s Community Services Department and the City’s Communications division to cross-promote both events to all prospective attendees. The Holidays at Greystone event will utilize City trolleys to shuttle guests between the Rexford parking garage and Greystone which would allow guests to travel to both events on the same date.

DISCUSSION
This public street fair proposal (Attachment 1) comes to the City as a request from EqualizeHer and Live Nation. Notable supporters of this event include Ashlee Margolis, Jill Tavelman Collins, Ringo Starr, UTA, and Live Nation (Letters of Support – Attachment 2). The proposed 400 foot road closure will be located at the 9300 block of Civic Center Drive, just north of the Live Nation and UTA properties.

EqualizeHer is a non-profit organization established in March of 2022 that supports all women in various aspects of the music industry. Part of EqualizeHer’s goal is to synchronize efforts, and build a community to bridge the gender gap in the music industry. As of March 2021, women in music represent only 21% of artists, 12.6% of songwriters, and 2.6% of producers. Singer, songwriter, musician, and producer Linda Perry and music-loving philanthropist Alisha Ballard have combined their talents, resources, and networks to make the EqualizeHer vision their mission. Produced by Anonymous Philanthropy, the goal of the “EqualizeHer Now!” event is to provide resources and access to women so they can thrive in the music industry, while helping others do the same. The initiative generates awareness, and aligns many industry organizations to inspire and support young women.

The proposed street closure is from 7:00pm on Friday, December 2, 2022 to 7:00pm on Saturday, December 3, 2022, with the event itself from 12:00pm – 5:00pm on Saturday only. According to the proposed layout, the road closure will be utilized for a free street fair open to the public with live music performances, panel discussions, food trucks, and workshop activations. A total of 500 - 2,000 total attendees are expected to attend the street fair over the course of the day. Event staff and security will manage and limit entry and exit points, and volunteers will be positioned throughout the space to assist with directional and operational needs. Event staffing numbers are determined based on 500- 1,000 attendees at a time. The event organization will hire a professional security company to determine required personnel placement, as well as staffing numbers.

Additional meters on Civic Center Drive will be reserved and used for drop offs, and attendees will be directed to park at the nearby Rexford and Crescent City parking garages. Guests will pay the standard rate for parking in City garages for the event.

EqualizeHer has contracted publicity firms Blue Whale and Siren’s Call to market the event through paid and organic social media campaigns, college and high school program outreach, Live Nation newsletters, and a street team. EqualizeHer will be in line with the City’s goal to support tourism, local businesses and bring culture into the City with this free and public street fair event. EqualizeHer pledges that this event will contribute positively to the recognition and image of the City as their proactive selection of the location in Beverly Hills was intentional for their inaugural event.

Similar to the City’s Farmer’s Market, there should be little impact to the area’s residents, as a professional traffic control company will create a traffic control plan to ensure that Meeting Date: October 11, 2022

Page 3 of 3 ends

traffic impacts are minimal. The EqualizeHer team is cognizant of the City’s sound ordinance, therefore no set up, event activity, nor will strike activity occur between the hours of 10:00pm and 8:00am. The required letters of notification for street closures, and special event use will be distributed to adjacent businesses and residents. Safety is always the City’s first priority and as such, the proposed road closure will be subject to the submittal and review of a traffic control plan to be reviewed by the City’s Public Works and Police Departments. The City’s weekly Farmer’s Market has a similar street closure in this general area with no safety issues reported.

The EqualizeHer organizers have also requested permission to use the City Shield on marketing materials for the event as a co-branded partnership identifying Beverly Hills as the location for the inaugural EqualizeHer event. If approved, any use of the City Shield on marketing materials for the event will be subject to review and approval by the City’s Marketing and Communications team prior to publication.

The City’s Risk Manager has also recommended General Liability Insurance coverage in the amount of $3 million dollars (per occurrence) naming the City of Beverly Hills as an additional insured, as a requirement to be provided by event organizers. This insurance requirement matches other street closure events in the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
All expenses related to this event are the responsibility of EqualizeHer, including, but not limited to: City permits, street closure and/or use fees, City personnel, equipment and any other associated costs related to the event. Personnel hours may vary, however, the anticipated fees for this event are as follows:

Fees to be paid by EqualizeHer! Cost
Fire Personnel $825.00
Police Personnel $1,256.00
Public Works Personnel $708.00
Special Event Permits $3,808.00
Street Closure $7,480.00
Parking Meters – No Parking Signs & Meter Revenue $248.00 Estimated Total $14,325.00

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council review and approve a recommendation from Beverly Hills City Council Liaisons/ Rodeo Drive/ Special Events/ Holiday Program Committee (Liaisons) for a temporary street closure of the 9300 block of Civic Center Drive and permission to use the City Shield for marketing materials for the proposed “EqualizeHer Now!” street fair on Saturday December 3, 2022.

CHARITY PARTNERS (TBC)
Part of EqualizeHer’s mission is to synchronize
efforts across the many other organizations in
the space, bridging the gap and building the
community and network of industry leaders and
advocacy groups. There are incredible programs
focused on supporting women in music all over
the world and this is why:

1. As of March 2021, women represent only 21% of
artists, 12.6% of songwriters and 2.6% of producers.

2. Fewer than 1% of popular songs are written only by
women. Fewer than .3% of songs have a single woman
writer.

3. Only 13.4% of GRAMMY Nominees from 2013 to 2021
have been women.

PUBLICITY + MARKETING
12 MARKETING TACTICS
• Paid and organic targeted social campaigns from EqualizeHer • Partner charity organization networks: social, newsletter and website listings • Affiliated sponsor networks: social, newsletter and website listings • Live Nation newsletter support
• College program outreach
• Earned media appearances from Linda Perry and Alisha Ballard • Promotion in Beverly Hills community forums
• Street team – wild posting, flyers, etc.

EqualizeHer has contracted two publicity firms (Blue Whale and Siren’s Call) who will focus on both music and non-profit PR, targeting specific outlets and media opportunities with focused messaging around the mission and goals for this event. In addition to the request for street closure, we are requesting permission to use the iconic Beverly Hills shield in our promotional materials, both digital and physical flyers, as well as use of the name Beverly Hills in press.

We will also be deploying both paid and grass roots marketing tactics leading up to the event, and we’re hosting a benefit concert on October 9th at The Troubadour that will serve as another avenue to drive awareness to the event on December 3rd – both live at the concert and as a part of a post-event media recap & press release.

ATTENDEE MANAGEMENT
16 We expect 500 - 2,000 total attendees throughout the day, allowing for 300-500 people at a time inside of the event. Understanding there will be an influx of people during the hours of 12pm–3pm for lunch and considering flow management. Our staff and security will be ready to manage and limit entry if the event becomes too crowded.

SAFETY is our number one priority!
• A security team will be hired with personnel at all entry and exit points, near the stage, and at back of house
• Volunteers will be positioned throughout the space to assist with directional and operational needs • Staffing numbers are being determined based on 500-1000 attendees at a time. We will consult with a professional security company to determine final staffing, placement, and capacity management needs

Dear Honorable Mayor Bosse and Members of the City Council:

As a music lover and long-standing member of the Beverly Hills community, I write to you in support of the EqualizeHer event taking place on Civic Center Drive on December 3rd. A first-of-its kind, family friendly event catering toward young women interested in the music industry. I love the mission which inspires more women and girls to join the music industry as they are disproportionately underrepresented.

EqualizeHer is a non-profit organization that supports all women in various fields of the music industry and Live Nation aligns with their mission to build a community of powerful young females to inspire them to choose a career in music.

This event is free and open to the public and will encourage families to visit Beverly Hills, promoting tourism whilst driving awareness to an important initiative we can all get behind. By allowing the city to host this event, Beverly Hills will help foster positive growth and much needed balance within the music business.

Sincerely,
