Complete layout of the City property to be used
If the map does not accurately show the area, then a drawing should be included. For example, the dimensions of the area to be used or a more detailed description of the area would be helpful. Please be reminded that if you are requesting the use of a park, the parking spaces around that area are not included in the permit, unless specifically requested.
If you are having vendor booths, the number of vendors should be stated on the application
This should be followed up with a list of the names of all vendors and a map showing the location and size of the vendor booths prior to the date of the event. Please review the requirements in the Ordinance attached with your application packet. The time requirement for submittal of this list is dependent upon the length and size of your event. This is extremely important with the larger events.

If you need anything other than the outlets already in place at the facility, we need to know details of wattage, type of equipment being used, length of time needed, location of special hookups, etc.
Liability insurance
The Liability Insurance Certificate must be in the sum of $1,000,000 and must include the statement "The City of Pella is also insured for the (name and date of your event)". You will need to request this special stipulation when you contact your insurance agent. Quite often this requirement delays the processing of applications.
