BACKGROUND:

Banks Enterprises, L.L.C., is promoting a series of concerts billed as “Gulf Coast Summerfest” on a limited portion of Santa Rosa Island on Saturday, August 31, 2013. In the interest of public safety, Banks Enterprises and the Santa Rosa Island Authority are requesting the Board to restrict access to the Gulf of Mexico during the concerts by declaring double red flag conditions. This restriction shall only apply to a portion of Gulf waters immediately adjacent to the concert staging area and shall be limited in duration from sunset on August 31 until 5:00 a.m. on September 1. The Board has the authority to restrict access pursuant to Sections 125.01 and 380.276, Florida Statutes, and its inherent police powers to safeguard the public health, safety, and welfare.
