The contracts proposed, between the San Francisco Recreation and Park Dept. and APE fall short of the industry standard. The APE contracts are not typical for a venue this size, potentially costing the City millions of dollars in lost revenue.
A resolution to extend APE’s contract with the Recreation & Parks Department for three more years, with an option of extending it out further to 2035, was approved by the Budget and Appropriations Committee in June and will go before the full Board on July 14.
A proposal to host a series of ticketed concerts in the Golden Gate Park Polo Fields will go before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in September following an initial agreement reached today between the Recreation and Park Department, Another Planet Entertainment (APE) and District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan.
