GULF SHORES, Ala. (WALA) - The City of Gulf Shores is getting ready to decide under what circumstances they will allow the Hangout Music Festival to be extended through the end of the decade.


For an hour starting at 2 p.m., the city will host a special council meeting allowing for public comment and questions on the six-year franchise agreement before going into an executive session at 3 p.m. and then their regular city council meeting at 4 p.m.


The festival was found to have a $31 million impact based on the numbers analyzed from the 2013 festival year and saw about 27,000 attendees. The festival bumped up their cap to 40,000 attendees last year.


One of the conditions for extending the festival would be a franchise fee to the City of Gulf Shores. It would start at $1 for 2015 and 2016 and would be one percent of the gross revenue starting in 2017. The agreement would increase that number to three percent of gross revenue starting in 2019.


Fox10 News Baldwin County Reporter Will Robinson-Smith will be attending the meetings this afternoon. He'll have more on the developments live on Fox10 News starting at 4.
