FORT WORTH, Texas — A Special Events Advisory Committee has been meeting for several months to discuss and recommend policies and procedures related to festivals, parades, runs, walks, block parties and large private events. The public can provide input on the proposed special-events ordinance at 6 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden Center, 3220 Botanic Garden Blvd.

The committee has outlined significant issues that will be recommended for inclusion in the ordinance and establish the city's authority on topics such as event approval, scheduling, appropriate locations, temporary fencing and the scale and duration of events.

The proposed ordinance and committee recommendations will be presented to the City Council once the committee completes its work.
