costs to this event, but are difficult to estimate at this point until summer schedules are known and a

spectators crowding as close to show center as possible. This can be accomplished in both directions.
The area between the water and the east event area fence also needs to remain clear of any permanent
obstructions.
Fire Marshal Permits for the use of the tents must be obtained from the Office of the Fire Marshal.
Inspections of the street vendors must be coordinated with the Office of the Fire Marshal.

Event Types BD shall require a Private Event Permit to execute any and all efforts requested. The opportunity to
be granted a Private Event Permit is a privilege the Town of Ocean City may confer on an applicant for use of

just the applicant. Please refer to PPM 6006 for use of municipal parks.

Event Types EH shall have a Town of Ocean City Asset Request form completed internally by the Private Events

PART II:

GUIDELINES FOR TOWNOWNED EQUIPMENT & LABOR USAGE BY OUTSIDE ENTITIES


These guidelines are designed to create an established system of tracking and approval processes, costing, data
sharing and inventory management methods. The system is to be utilized by all participating departments and
divisions within the Town of Ocean City (TOC) as related to Town resources hard equipment assets and labor
where resources are allocated to a defined event. This documentation will address how outside entities such as for
profit and nonprofit businesses, associations, individuals and other Town divisions may apply for utilization of
Town resources, the definitions by which each TOC asset request shall be categorized, the documentation and
updating of TOC available asset inventory, the adaptations to the Private Event Application process and related
Town of Ocean City Policy 6004 wherein these procedures shall reside and the disclosure of responsibilities and
liabilities on both sides of the process.

DEFINITION OF EVENT TYPES (see page 1 of this Policy)

DEFINITION OF PROCEDURES
Any entity or person(s) interested in utilizing Townowned equipment or services (hereinafter referred to as TOC
Assets) must apply for TOC Asset use through the appropriate process managed by the Private Events
Coordinator. Type A events fall under the formal budgeting approval processes set forth by the Town. Types B, C
and D shall follow the Private Event Application Process. Types E and F event types as well as divisiontodivision
requests shall complete a TOC Asset Request form (TAR) outside of the Private Event Process. E, F, G and H
event type TAR forms are processed through the Private Events Coordinator outside of the Private Event
Application Process. DivisiontoDivision TAR forms are completed by the requesting entity with other procedures
as described herein. A sample of the TAR form can be found at the end of this document.

Processed TAR forms, once approved through the Private Event Application process or simply through division
approvals are recorded electronically in the appropriate shared drive. TAR forms are filed electronically using the
month and date of start of usage on the shared drive. TAR forms attached to events through the Private Event
Application process are also recorded within the appropriate private event folder managed by the Private Event
Coordinator. Forms may be reviewed electronically from the shared drive by TOC employees for reference,
inventorying, or to confirm overall allocation of TOC Assets.

Emergency and Disaster Relief needs supersede these guidelines to avert processing time; although, usage should
be tracked, once time allows, to keep accurate inventory and usage information.

REASONABLE NEED VS. COMPETITIVE USE
The condition under which the TOC asset is used and origin of the request play a major role in determining how
policies and guidelines are applied. Complete information will generally lead to applying the following definitions
to the TOC Asset request justifying the path of support to be considered. The definitions are as follows:

Reasonable Need The TOC Asset request originates from within the Town of Ocean City as a requirement
to meet local municipal expectations or needs or the request is deemed as a justified responsibility (legal or
PPM 6004
Revised by Special Events Director Frank Miller
Approved by the Mayor and Council on August 12, 2014

Page 3

otherwise) of the Town, a unique asset belonging to or in possession of the Town or the Town forces
preference that said TOC asset is to be used over other external asset sources.

Competitive Use Intent to use the TOC Asset in an effort to replace similar assets available externally at a
trackable cost to requestor or the TOC asset is not a TOC necessity or requirement and is an enhancement
that can be duplicated in general through an external provider.

TOC ASSET COSTING
Resolution 201413, approved by the Mayor and Council on August 18, 2014, established the charges for Town
Equipment and Labor related to Type BF Events. A cost must be associated with the TOC Asset use regardless of
how the use has been defined. Costs shall be used to track Investment by Town, Internal Job Cost and /or
toward Fees incurred by Requestor. These costs shall be estimated by the originating department, approved by
the Mayor and City Council and uniformly applied for event needs Townwide. Costs may differ from those applied
to other needs such as disaster relief and Government to Government invoicing. Costs shall be simple in structure
when in the form of public information and may be further broken down internally for budgeting.

HOW COSTS ARE APPLIED
The information below is related to the application of costs, not whether or not the costs are billable back to the
event.

TOC Hardware Assets inherently have a cost associated with them. The Town realizes expenses for hardware from
equipment purchase or asset creation and from raw materials, maintenance, storage, depreciation and
transportation. A cost needs to be associated with each Asset to cover the value of use and duration of the items
use.

In terms of TOC Labor Assets or Services, there are two schools of thought. First is if staff is placed on a job related
to an event, that labor cost should be reflected as an event cost. Use of staff for tasking outside of the positions
normal duties results in a delay in completing those normal duties therefore the cost is specific to the event. The
second perspective is if the staff is assigned during regularly scheduled hours completing work within their scope
of expertise for which they were hired and the job does not incur overtime, there is no need to push the related
cost to the event. If the labor is assigned during hours not regularly scheduled, then the hours are justified for
billing.

Use of Town vehicles and equipment requiring an operator inherently has a combine cost for equipment use and
labor costs to operate said equipment. For the purpose of showing a cost for these operated Town assets, the assets
have one a single hourly rate to cover the package of hardware and labor.

Use of TOC Equipment and Labor for needs related to Event Types A and C also have conditions when it comes to
method of application. Since these event types are produced by the Town using Town funds as the primary
financing source and under the Towns budget, short duration needs and lowvolume needs by the Town from
existing Town assets shall not be billed out by the supplying department. Long duration needs and highvolume
needs may be billed out to the event through and at the discretion of the Towns Budget Manager upon the request
of the source Department or Division. At all times, labor and equipment usage shall be tracked by the source
department and communicated to the department or division producing the event upon completion of needs.
Assets for Town events should not be billed as the assets already belong to the Town for use by the Town.

For Event Types B and E, all planned or anticipated usage of Town Equipment and Labor should be scheduled with
an attached cost. These costs will be communicated through the Private Event Application process to the Mayor
and City Council for review and consideration. Mayor and City Council (M&CC) have the right to, with all
department comments considered, choose what costs if any shall be removed as an expense to an event. The
application of whether assets are in place for a reasonable need or competitive use should be considered at this
time. The standard practice will be: to invoice the event billing contact for approved charges unless
otherwise directed.
PPM 6004
Revised by Special Events Director Frank Miller
Approved by the Mayor and Council on August 12, 2014

Page 4


Event Types B, C and D shall not be approved by the Mayor and City Council without all Department comments
received and the formal submission thereof to the Mayor and City Council by the Towns Private Event
Coordinator. These comments and job costing figures along with other event details are vital in all Event
considerations.

FORPROFIT VS. NONPROFIT
ForProfit and NonProfit entities shall receive the same consideration and cost structure as costs incurred by the
Town do not change for type of promoter. The Mayor and City Council shall look favorably upon Private Event
Applications submitted for events organized and managed by nonprofit organizations with established offices
within Worcester County. Aforementioned nonprofit applications shall receive a 75% discount on application and
space use fees upon the approval of Mayor and City Council.

INSEASON VS. SHOULDERSEASON
A more vital condition to be considered by M&CC when determining viable billable expenses is time of year event
is to be executed, TOC staffing demands for the dates of the event in question and availability of TOC Assets
requested. For management of the processes and assets as described herein, FIVE SEASONS shall be defined:

WINTER SEASON January 2nd March 15th
(Low demand, low staffing)
SPRING SEASON

March 16th Start of Memorial Day Weekend


(Medium demand, medium staffing)

SUMMER SEASON Start of Memorial Day Weekend Labor Day


(High demand, max staffing)
FALL SEASON

Labor Day October 31st


(Medium demand, medium staffing)

HOLIDAY SEASON November 1st January 1st


(Medium demand, low staffing)

Seasons correlate to not only saturation of private events but also to availability of Town staff and equipment for
vital and fundamental annual job duties, activities and expectations required by Town Departments during that
same time frame. These other responsibilities play a key role in the Towns ability to complete nonstandard add
on tasks requested to support Private Events.

IMPACT VS. INVESTMENT
An important argument when reviewing requested use of Town assets (labor and equipment) is impact on the
Town versus the required investment by the Town. Impact includes variables such as lodging room nights gained
solely by the event taking place (positive), media exposure generated (positive), anticipated consumption of goods
and entertainment within the Town by event attendees (positive), general parking depletion (negative),
displacement of normal usage amenities such as square footage of public beach consumed by an event normally
used by general tourists (negative), and correlation to Towns values and reputation (variable) among others.
Investment is defined by the amount of resources (financial and physical) required by the event from the Town to
successfully execute said event. Financial investments can take on two iterations: (1) To cover the cost of assets
necessary for the safety of Town patrons, elements deemed executable by the Town only or as a proprietary
executable need; or (2) as a monetary request such as seed funding, marketing support, or donation of labor and
equipment. The latter relates back to the subject of Reasonable Need vs. Competitive Use.

PAYMENTS TO TOWN FOR ASSETS USED
Upon cost approval by Mayor and City Council for an event; costs shall be conveyed to event promoter for review
and acceptance. Approval of costs shall be due no later than 30 days prior to event or within three business days of
PPM 6004
Revised by Special Events Director Frank Miller
Approved by the Mayor and Council on August 12, 2014

Page 5

M&CC approval. Upon final acceptance of costs to be incurred by event. A payment structure shall be enacted with
the following:

50% of all equipment derived costs due at time of approval
75% of all labor derived costs due at time of approval
Balance due 5 business days prior to start of event
Rented equipment insurance policy in place for all TOC provided equipment with Mayor and City Council,
Town of Ocean City, MD as additional insured.

EVENTS WITH MOU
Payment schedule to be established within MOU
Rented equipment insurance policy in place for all TOC provided equipment with Mayor and City Council,
Town of Ocean City, MD as additional insured.

Failure to pay as per the appropriate payment structure places the event at risk of losing services and/or Town
assets.

EQUIPMENT TRACKING
The Private Event Coordinator under the Special Events Division shall track all equipment scheduled for use and
approved by M&CC and the event promoter. Each department/division allocating equipment and/or labor shall
also track assets sourced by their department to a given event using the same data sheet. Last minute additions
need to be added on both sides of allocation for auditing as necessary.
