LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) - The summer's two-day Made In American music festival in downtown racked up more than $475,000 in police overtime, according to a new report.
The report will be presented to the Los Angeles Police Commission Tuesday morning.
During a normal two-week period, LAPD overtime usually tallies between $3.6 and $3.8 million when there are no large events.
During the two-week period of the festival, which occurred on Aug. 30 and 31 and also included Labor Day, overtime costs amounted to $4.7 million. The overtime pay associated with the Labor Day holiday alone was $459,550.
Made in America's promoter, Live Nation, agreed to pay the city a flat fee of $500,000 to reimburse services, which also included the public works and transportation departments, during the festival.
The event attracted 70,000 fans.

Across the UK, employers could be liable for billions of pounds in backdated pay, some estimates suggest. Currently, only basic pay counts when calculating holiday pay.
