WS – Item 5 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 5 <br />Date: April 2, 2012 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Mary Divine <br />Re: Blue Heron Days Venue <br />Background <br />Blue Heron Days is not a city- sponsored event, and each year volunteers are needed take <br />on the responsibility of tracking income and expenses, ensuring sponsor recognition, <br />organizing the parade, advertising, and finding ways to provide fun, family oriented <br />activities on a very limited budget. This year the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce has <br />agreed to take on those responsibilities. <br />The Chamber would like to discuss issues regarding the growth of Blue Heron Days and <br />change of venue for some of the events β€” including MagicBounce, the business expo, <br />petting zoo and family movie night β€”to Lino Park. <br />The chamber recognizes that there would be additional planning measures needed to <br />make the move, and appreciate input from parks and police to ensure a safe and fun <br />experience. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />May the Chamber proceed with planning for moving festival activities to Lino Park? <br />Attachments <br />None <br />
