After a lot of focus on two large events that ended in mass shootings, Dallas council members heard plenty of concern from other event organizers. The city is still working on details of a commercial promoter registration fee that would likely be $250 for two years.
Dallas city leaders are getting pushback on a proposed ordinance to crack down on promoters who put on large parties without required permits. Other businesses say it will hurt them.Under the proposed ordinance, if a commercial promoter fails to follow the city's rules, the violator would be on the hook to pay the city's full cost of any police or fire response.

Promoters who fail to properly register can be fined up to $2,000 and the full cost of any police or fire response. "I am the producer of the largest independent fashion show that I started years ago, hoping 100 people would show up, and I had a five-block line," she said.
