Eliminating traffic in the neighborhood
6. Property Improvements
• 1sq. Mile, well lit, gated, paved parking lot (Max Cap. 22,500 vehicles)
• Separate parking for CDL vehicles, tour busses and employees
• 30 Trash and recycle bins dispersed on the property
• 5 Stop signs added to the property
• Addition of 35 to 50 front row and VIP seats
• ( Up for petition) New Street added to Main Street annexing Four Oak parking lot
• Tree line reinforced on the south end of the property
• 5 story Parking Garage will be built in the near future ( estimated 5 years)
7. Increased Security and Grounds keeping
Security Additions
• Retired Hartland Police Captain and Army
Veteran, Juan Gettpasme (Head of Security)
• 2 Off-Duty Police Officers (traffic control inside
the parking lot) Officer Willie Righttickets and
Officer Don Startnone
• Addition of 5-10 security guards during the
concert seasons * veterans preferred (3 interns)
• 2 Security Cruisers and 3 security ATV’s
• Increased security detail during events (15 min
intervals) during the beginning, intermission,
and end of events, plus routine hourly checks
• Solar Street lights for Parking Lot and Property
Grounds Keeping
• Addition of 3 grounds keeper ( 1 fulltime)
• Increased property maintenance
• Installation of 30 garbage bins throughout
the property (dumped at ¾ full)
8. Where will the funding come
from?
• Our 1st season 7% of our concerts were sold out
• 5/67 concerts were sold out
• Hypothetically, if the average ticket price was $40 per ticket at a sold out event, those 5
concerts by themselves, would have grossed a minimum of $4 million
• Realistically, our lowest price ticket during concert season is $40
This improvement initiative will cost Four Oaks an estimated 1.2 million in
the first year, and after that costs of $1 million annually.
Extending the concert season to the end of April will generate a minimum
$2 million gross which will also increase the amusement / privilege tax rate
the city charges, to 4% instead of 3%
3% Price Increase on Tickets will generate an estimated $1.3 million per
sold-out event (based upon the hypothetical situation above)
