Austin Public Notices
A few points from today's Austin Chronicle that might be of interest to #ATX residents:
"The city of Austin's Music & Entertainment Division will host a Music Venue Summit next Monday, to discuss areas of interest specific to live music venue owners and management. The Fire, Police, and Development Services departments will present info on: Security and Safety Planning, the Sound Ordinance, Occupant Load Cards, the proposed Entertainment License, and the Music Venue Loan Program. City Music Czar Don Pitts noted that the summit "is in direct response to the Music Industry Census" his department did last summer, where venues cited "an inconsistency with city communication and enforcement as an issue for their business." Monday, Jan. 25, 3-5pm, at the Mexican American Cultural Center, 600 River St. It's free and open to the public, but pre-registration is encouraged via: www.goo.gl/forms/3ScKjvp1UU.
