INTRODUCTION
At the November 28, 2022 City Council Liaison / Rodeo Drive/Special Events/Holiday Program Committee (Liaisons) meeting, Vanity Fair returned to present updated information related to the Vanity Fair post-Academy Awards party hosted in Beverly Hills on Sunday, March 12, 2023 (Attachment 5). Similar to previous years, Council is requested to formally approve a street closure of the 400 block of N. Crescent Drive adjacent to City Hall from Tuesday, February 28, until Thursday, March 16, 2023. The

necessary build plans and day-of event lane closures will take place in coordination with City staff.

On December 7, 2021, City Council unanimously supported Vanity Fair’s request for another 3-year (2022 - 2024) commitment with the City (Attachment 3). It is important to note that Council approval has been granted for this event in three-year increments since 2015. This report serves as an informational item for the event, and formal approval of its specific 2023 street closure dates.

DISCUSSION
Vanity Fair’s annual post-Academy Awards Party has been a prestigious, high-profile event for over 25 years, with the last 7 occasions held in Beverly Hills in between City Hall and the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (the Wallis). By utilizing a street closure, the event organizers have constructed an elegant, secure tented area on N. Crescent Drive that attracts an average of 800-1,000 high-profile attendees over the course of the evening. These guests include Oscar winners and nominees, as well as actors, celebrities, politicians and dozens of national and international media outlets.

The event, subsequent street closures, and unique usage of City facilities was approved for a 3-year agreement by City Council, starting in 2022. This 2023 event, similar to previous years, requires a two-week street closure of the 400 block of N. Crescent Drive, use of additional streets in the City such as Civic Center Drive and Foothill Road, Crescent garage, as well as the north parking lot of City Hall for build-out and event preparations. On the weekend of the event, a complete buy out of the Crescent garage, lighting City Hall’s Crescent courtyard, and Municipal Gallery are also requested (Attachment 1). The event also includes use of the Wallis; the agreement with the Wallis is managed separately with the Wallis’ Board of Directors and staff (Attachment 4).

As proposed, the event will once again require Council to approve a street closure of the 400 block of N. Crescent Drive in between N. and S. Santa Monica Boulevards, inclusive of setup and tear down, from Tuesday, February 28 (11:59PM), until Thursday, March 16, 2023 (6:00PM). Extended closures of lanes including S. Santa Monica Boulevard, N.

Santa Monica Boulevard, as well as full lane closures of the 400 block of N. Canon Drive, for arrivals and departures of guests will be in place only on Sunday, March 12, 2023, from approximately 3:00PM until 2:00AM. The event itself takes place from 5:00PM – 2:00AM on Sunday, March 12, 2023, inclusive of arrivals and departures that includes staggered invitation times.

Vanity Fair prioritizes the City’s safety-first approach and as such, all road closures will be subject to review and approval of a traffic control plan by the City’s Transportation Division and Police Department. Additionally, all permits issued through the Special Events Division, including temporary structure, tent, generator and film permits will be reviewed and approved by City staff from many departments and divisions including Community Development, Police, Fire, Public Works, and Parking Services.

Adjacent residents and merchants will be notified of the upcoming activity and closures, including local churches on N. Santa Monica Boulevard for the event day specifically. It should be noted that this event takes place the weekend before the LA Marathon (Sunday, March 19, 2023), and so any notifications will be made well in advance and specific to the closure activity. Traditionally the City also places advertisements on behalf of event organizers in local newspapers to supplement their marketing efforts and provide accurate street closure information to residents. No major communication concerns or other incidents were reported in 2022.

Meeting Date: December 13, 2022

As is the case every year, Vanity Fair’s event is a highly-publicized event, broadcasted throughout international and national press and media. Previous copies of media materials have included sample coverage of the party, which includes hundreds of references to Beverly Hills, City Hall, and the Wallis. Since 2015, the event crew and staff shop local during the build and event preparation. Vanity Fair staff and guests have stayed at local hotels during each year, and experienced all of the amenities that Beverly Hills offers, including its world-class shopping and dining. Vanity Fair made an agreement to utilize the Maybourne Hotel in 2023, and will work with Beverly Hills Chef Evan Funke for the second year in a row. Attachment 2 details the local businesses that Vanity Fair has utilized over the years, with a commitment to continue in 2023, and beyond.

FISCAL IMPACT
Vanity Fair parent company Conde Nast pays for all City permits including: Special Event, Building, Fire and the associated hourly personnel, facility rentals including 450 N. Crescent parking garage and the Municipal Gallery, and street closure fees, as well as any damage deposits and turf replacement post-event.

In the previous and current 3-year agreements, the street rental cost from the fee schedule has been charged for “Commercial Locations, Non-Resident, 25-30 Hours”, and does not include an additional higher hourly rate. This allows for the street closure fee for the expanded closures on the weekend of the event itself to be collected, and keeps the total cost at a flat rate rather than the additional hourly rate of $1,109 for over two weeks (336 hours). This flat rate of $21,171 under their existing 3-year term agreement (2022-2024) will be charged annually in addition to the other permit fees.

Over the previous 3 years, upwards of $140,000 has been collected from each event in permit, personnel and facility fees, with similar amounts expected for 2023, charged according to the current fee schedule rates.

Additionally, the costs for noticing residents and businesses, as well as any and all equipment to close the street safely, including advanced message boards for traffic and residents, will continue to be at the expense of Vanity Fair. The City does traditionally also give advanced notice through its normal communications channels, such as street closure advertisements in local newspapers, social media, and Nixle alerts for traffic the Sunday of the event.

Providing a General Liability Certificate of Insurance for $25 million naming the City of Beverly Hills as additionally insured will be the responsibility of Conde Nast (Vanity Fair).

The City’s Risk Manager has confirmed indemnification of the City as a requirement, with the amount matching the previous street-closure events for Vanity Fair.

To: The Honorable Mayor, Beverly Hills Council & the City of Beverly Hills From: Sara Marks, Director of Special Projects, Vanity Fair 11.16.22 Firstly, we would like to say thank you to The Honorable Mayor, Beverly Hills Council & the City of Beverly Hills for all their help with the 7 years we have hosted our Academy Award Dinner and Post Party. Each year has been very successful and it wouldn’t have happened without the participation of all the different divisions of City Hall that we have had the pleasure of working with.

The format and timing will not change unless the network changes the time of the show. Vanity Fair’s Academy Award event would take place on March 12th, 2023 from approximately 5:00pm – 2:00am.

As a recap Vanity Fair’s Academy Award Event consists of a small viewing dinner followed by a reception for 800-1000 guests whose arrivals are staggered over the course of the evening. Each guest that attends has a time coded admission card/parking pass.

We would use the same location: N Crescent Drive between Santa Monica Blvd and S. Santa Monica Blvd / Burton Way and again would incorporate the City Hall gardens adjacent to this space and create a custom lighting plan for the main City Hall building as viewed from this location. We will again use part of the The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. In addition Evan Funke who was our chef last year, will again work with us and we are very happy that he will open his restaurant in Beverly Hills next year.

We will as we have done in previous years work very closely with all those at the City of Beverly Hills who are involved with this project.

Our estimated dates for the street closure of Crescent for 2023 would be as follows:
2023 – Midnight on 2.28.23 – 6:00pm on 3.16.23
2024 – To be determined once we have the date
As in previous years we will contact all those on the distribution list (local merchants, residents, churches and any additional organizations that are necessary) and ensure that they are made aware of the street closure activities which may occur during the time frame for that particular year. As we get closer to the night of the event, we will also distribute a reminder notification letter to all necessary.

We have found an ideal location for the event and we look forward to continuing our relationship with the City of Beverly Hills for many more years to come.

And lastly, we will as much as possible use as many of the businesses we can within Beverly Hills. We have already made an agreement to use the Maybourne Hotel
Sincerely,
Sara Marks
