If there ever is another Alienstock or similar event, these are the minimum changes needed to make it more bearable for the residents and more enjoyable for the event visitors. These requirements are compiled from the residents' experience, feedback from visitors and to some degree by applying plain common sense.
- The Planning Department must take full control of preparations and requirements, not the event organizer
- Requirements for the permit must be defined in advance and the event organizer must deliver proof that all requirements are fulfilled before an event permit is issued. Penalties must be defined if the organizer fails to deliver on any of the requirements
- Rachel residents must be involved in all steps of the planning process
- Limit attendees to 3,000 max. That was the maximum number this year, which was barely tolerable. The number of attendees can easily be limited by selling event tickets
- The event organizer must pay for all cost for security, medical and other cost associated with the event and reimburse the county for any expense caused by the event such as extra law enforcement presence etc. A percentage of that cost must be paid in advance
- There must be road blocks on all roads into the residential part of Rachel, in particular on Groom Ave that is a short cut from the event site to the back gate road
- No properties in the residential part of Rachel can be used for the event in any way
- Event rules must be enforced. Especially no camp fires and no weapons or drugs
- There must be a trash fence around the event site and all camp sites to catch blowing trash
- There must be more trash cans and they must have a lid to keep trash contained
