resentatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives is based on a state’s pop-

ulation; granting numerous elected representatives to serve a two year term. The

senate has one hundred members, each state electing two representatives. One-third

of the Senate is up for reelections every two years.

The Judicial Branch consists of a court system both civil and federal, with the highest

court being the United States Supreme Court.

Chicago Customs

All participants, fans, and family of the athletes will have to comply with the United States rules that deal with foreign entry to the country. Visitors from outside countries will have to pass the regulations set forth by the U.S. Homeland Security. Any persons trying to enter into the United States without the proper documentation will be de-tained and will not be permitted to enter the country. It is crucial that every person from a foreign country wishing to attend the sporting e vent make the proper arrange-ments and have the proper documentation upon their arrival into the United States of America.

The proper documents needed for a foreign national entering the U.S. is a passport and valid visa issued by a U.S. Consular Official unless they are a citizen of a country eligible for the Visa Waiver Program, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., or a citi-zen of Canada. A foreign national traveling by air who is a citizen of a country eligible for the Visa Waiver program must have an approved Electronic System for Travel Au-thorization and valid passport before traveling to the U.S.

While traveling in an airport, the airline will give all travelers some documents to com-plete while still en route to the United States. All travelers are required to complete a Custom Declaration from 6059B. Those travelers who are non-United States citizens and are requesting admission to the United States with a Visa will be given the form I-94 Arrival/Departure record to complete.

Upon arrival, the airline will show one to the inspection area. Visitors will line up in the inspection line and then speak with a Customs and Border Protection officer. Fol-lowing this process visitors will be lead to the Customs Inspection Area.

At a land border port-of-entry, foreign visitors go through the same general process. An officer will conduct the initial inspection on the vehicle lane. That officer will de-cide if the foreign passengers will need further review or issuance of needed papers to a secondary inspection area. Once the determination is made for foreigners to enter into the U.S., they may be sent for further Customs inspection or immediately allowed to continue on to their destination.

Chicago Environmental Protection

Chicago is known for its great industrialization; which in exchange brings pollution.

Chicago is a world leader in the “Going-Green” initiative. Although it is a heavily popu-

lated city, Chicago still utilizes its space for cultivating gardens within the Chicago Park

District. These parks help distract from the busy lifestyles associated with the city life.

The city of Chicago seeks to not only beautify its community with over 600 public

parks, but looks to conserve energy and become economically friendly through the

use of solar panels, emission conscious street sweepers, and chemical deposit center.

The city will provide recycling services which will be utilized at locations in every facili-

ty. Chicago also focuses on the critical importance of water to all life and the historic

and significant role of Lake Michigan and the lakefront parklands in the revitalization

of the city. By conserving energy and natural resources, protecting and enhancing

parklands and showcasing innovative technologies through Games management, Chi-

cago 2016 will leave a lasting legacy.

Security is a necessary component of an event. While most tasks can be performed by

volunteers, occasionally the added authority of a security guard is needed. Some areas

that could require a security guard would be crowd control and parking control. Having

a security guard ensures that directions are followed and the areas are safe.

The company chosen is American Heritage Protective Services. American Heritage Pro-

tective Services, Inc. is a Chicago land based full-service contract security and security

consulting company. Their corporate offices are located in Alsip, Illinois. Licensed in Illi-

nois and Indiana, American Heritage currently serves accounts along an axis extending

from Chicago to Aurora, and from Glenview to Lake County, Indiana

American Heritage Protective Services, Inc., provides uniformed security guards and

officers, off-duty police officers, executive protection, confidential investigations and

expert security consulting. AHPS clients include owners and managers of commercial

office buildings, industrial complexes, educational institutions, healthcare facilities and

fortune 100 corporations. Each AHPS key executive and associated is nationally recog-

nized with over 25 years of experience in the private security sector and / or public law

enforcement.

According to Stephen Pollack, Executive Vice President, the rates for security guards

are as follows. Unarmed Security Guards are $16.50/hour and Armed Security Guards

are $35.00/hour. AHPS also specializes in short notice availability, which adds flexibility.

It is the desire of the city of Chicago as the host, to provide a security blanket

around all visitors and competitors attending the Paralympics. In order to achieve

this goal, the following steps must be taken:

Each participant in the Paralympics will be given a photo identification card

upon registration. No one will be admitted to any event, facility, or transporting

vehicle without this card.

There will be an increased level of security on DePaul University’s campus.

This includes walk-through metal detectors and hand-held wands to ensure the

safety of all Paralympic competitors. Security cameras located around housing

facilities, training centers, and sport complexes will be constantly monitored.

All 13 residence halls are handicap accessible, so no Paralympic athlete should have

any worries, or trouble. The Chicago, Illinois Paralympic Bid Committee has the liv-

ing arrangements where the each country will stay together. The Bid Committee did

not want to split up the countries, in order to reduce potential conflict. The Bid

Committee has also chosen DePaul University because of its exquisite three-level

Student Center. The Student Center will become one of the most popular buildings

in the Paralympic Village. This is where the Bid Committee hopes the athletes can

associate with each other, from the reasoning that this is where the multi-station

cafeteria will be. Also, the DePaul Campus offers a brand new fitness center, which

will allow for the athletes to work out and train at their convenience. Due to the

fact that athletes, coaches, and team staff come from all nationalities and religious

backgrounds, the campus chapel will host services in the needed religions of the

participants. DePaul will play host for the dining services at the Paralympic Village.

stations and venues. All vehicles will run on low carbon fuels, and existing public

transport terminals will serve all venues. The Paralympic Transport Command will

integrate all public transport services and oversee traffic management and emer-

gency response through the city’s experienced Traffic Management Authority. Chi-

PANALYMPIC VILLAGE ARRIVAL CEREMONY

Chicago will welcome each country’s athletes, coaches, and team staff to the Paralympic

Village on Tuesday, August 16, 2016. The Paralympic Village is located at DePaul Univer-

sity. Upon arrival, all athlete, coach, or team staff members residing in the Paralympic

Village for the length of the games must complete an identity check. This identity check

will include their personal information, and a mandatory fingerprint scan. This finger-

print scan is very similar to Disney World’s scan, and allows the athletes, coaches, and

team staff to move freely in and out of the village. A parade will go through the campus

of DePaul University and the countries will follow and get released once they past their

living arrangements. The opening ceremonies will follow the next night.

MEDAL CEREMONIES

Three medals will be given to the top three athletes in

their respective events and classification groups. The

gold medal will be awarded to the top athlete. The silver

medal will be awarded to the second place finisher and

the bronze medal will be awarded to the third place fin-

isher. There will be a medal ceremony after each event,

and this will take place where each event is held. The

medal winners will be on a podium, and the gold medal

winner will have their country’s national anthem played.

Chicago Communication &Media

Technology is a substantial part of the world today. Everything is going “digital” which

allows individuals to have a quicker and more accurate response rate to any news. Chi-

cago plans to provide fans more access to the Paralympics through various media out-

lets then they have been accustomed to in the past.

The Paralympics will be broadcasted on national television through three major out-

lets: ESPN,NBC, and CBS. ESPN is the worldwide leader in sports and would allow the

televised program to reach a large numbered fan base. ESPN also has multiple subdivi-

sions that will allow for the program to circulate longer. Not only will this benefit fans

in the United States, but ESPN will be able to reach millions on an international level.

Due to its popularity, ESPN can be reached through television, radio broadcasts, and

internet postings. CBS and ABC are the two largest news broadcasting networks in the

United States. Partnering with them will allow full media coverage, including repeat

coverage.

Social media is rapidly emerging and is seen as an excellent source to tap into. The two

primary outlets to explore are Twitter and Facebook. This is a fantastic tool to reach out

to the younger generations and create a global fan-driven interaction.

In correlation to social media, the Paralympic Games wants to explore the avenue of

apps for iPhones and iPads. This will allow individuals to receive updates and access

game scores, player statistics, and any interactive media games provided.

Through technology the Paralympic Games will not only grow their fan base and keep

millions united world wide, but it will also expand the fan base of their marketing part-

ners as well.

Chicago Data Processing

The city of Chicago will provide the proper allocation of information services, telecom-

munication and data processing infrastructure and internet access for the Paralympic

games. Chicago will have a listing of all major telecommunication providers in the met-

ro area for all participants, coaches and fans. The (FCC) Federal Communications Com-

mission is the regulatory agency that oversees telecommunications in the United

States for the Paralympic games. In order to have Chicago a bid for the Paralympic

games, the city plans for additional telecommunications and data processing required

to support the games. Chicago will provide regulatory responsibility for allocating and

control of all radio frequencies in the area during the games. Chicago is also in the pro-

cess to provide a guarantee from the Bid Committee that no fees will be assessed for

the access to radio frequencies to athletes participating, IOC, media, broadcasters and

Olympic partners. For each competition, Chicago will describe the current capacity of

the mobile network by carrier. Chicago also assures that the accredited media at the

games are provided with the facilities and services to ensure the best media coverage

of the Paralympic games. 60

In 2011, the inflation rate for the city of Chicago was 3.0%. The projected inflation rate

for 2012 is 2.9%. The Bid Committee and the City of Chicago will provide a financial

guarantee that covers any potential economic downfall of the Organizing Committee

for the Paralympic games. There will also be a statement from authorities regarding

the price control procedures in place before and during the Paralympic Games. Hotel

rates, parking rates and public transportation rates for both participating athletes and

spectators will be provided due to unnecessary price gouging that will not be tolerat-

ed. Our city will provide a plan for transfer, including financial options of Paralympic

infrastructure from the OCOG to private or government operation after the conclusion

of the games. Chicago will also be providing a description of taxes that were levied

and the projected impact that the Paralympic Games would have on them. The taxes

include sales tax, withholding taxes, value-added taxes, hospitality taxes, income taxes

and property taxes. There will be many revenues due to the Paralympic Games being

in Chicago. Ticket Sales will be from opening and closing ceremonies and other pro-

grams. There will also be a wide range of donations received from third parties. The

main revenues will be from sponsorships, registration fees, portions of hotel fees and

licensing.

Chicago Advertising

Advertising will be executed on a regional, national, and international level.

Through the three broadcasting outlets (CBS, ABC, and ESPN) other corporate part-

ners will have the opportunity to promote themselves through thirty second timed

commercials. They will also have the ability to promote their products/services via

banner ads on company websites. These advertisements will run throughout the

broadcasting of the Paralympics.

Advertisements and commercials for the Paralympic Games will begin airing three

times a week for a month prior to the opening ceremonies. A week in advance the

commercials will launch daily to continuously build brand awareness.

www.Chicago2016.com, the official homepage of the CHICAGO2012 Paralympic

Games, will continuously provide new and exciting behind-the-scene footage. The

website will provide clips of new buildings being built, interviews with athletes at

training camp, and some history/travel tips for maneuvering Chicago. There are al-

so interactive games for kids to strengthen their knowledge about the Olympics,

what it means to be a good sport, and some downloadable activities.

Chicago will be radically transformed as the citizens demonstrate their pride and

loyalty to their city. There will be billboards on highly populated highways and

roads, pillars and bridge signage, and daily giveaways when directed towards the

Facebook/Twitter site.

The Paralympic Games plan to reach out to the younger generation and teach them

to live a more healthy/active lifestyle. Local school initiatives will be taken to in-

volve the children in this amazing opportunity of hosting the Olympic Games. 66

When it comes to International events, the United States has had the pleasure

to host Olympic winter or summer Games on seven occasions. The Centennial Games

of the Olympic Movement took place in Atlanta in 1996. The Games were one of the

largest in history so far, featuring almost 11.000 competitors. In 2002, the United

States held the Winter Olympics. Approximately 2,400 athletes from 77 nations par-

ticipated in 78 events in fifteen disciplines, held throughout 165 sporting sessions.

The United States also participates in the Pan-American Games, the second

largest sports event following the Olympic Games. They are held every four years

preceding the Olympic Games. The Pan Am Games consists of all Summer Olympic

sports, plus some non-Olympic sports.

The city of Chicago has been named the Best Sports City in the United States

by the Sporting News in 1993, 2006, and in 2010. In 1994, Chicago hosted a success-

ful FIFA World Cup. The games were played in the Chicago Bears home stadium, Sol-

dier Field. The city of Chicago has also hosted the Pan American Games in 1959.
