Blair, City Clerk <br />July 12, 2004 <br />Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 04 -101 <br />Approving Parade Permit Application for Blue <br />Heron Days, August 21, 2004. <br />(3 / 5) Simple Majority <br />The "Blue Heron Days" Committee are moving forward with plans for a community <br />festival to take place August 20 -21, 2004. Two of the scheduled events, a parade and a <br />5K run, will be taking place on Saturday, August 21, 2004. <br />On May 24, 2004 the Council approved Resolution No. 04 -73 expressing support for a <br />parade along Lake Drive on August 21, 2004 in conjunction with this event. On May 25, <br />2004, the Anoka County Board approved closing of Lake Drive for the parade. This <br />approval is contingent upon the parade organizers working with the County Engineer to <br />facilitate the necessary detour. <br />The parade will travel northeasterly along Lake Drive, with its initial staging area <br />occurring in the SuperTarget parking lot. This will require temporary closure of a portion <br />of Lake Drive, which is a County road. The parade will end at James Street. <br />The next step in the process is for City approval of the permit application, which is <br />conditioned upon applicant successfully working with the County Engineer on the detour, <br />and upon ongoing safety, signage, and related concerns being addressed. The attached <br />Resolution No. 04 -101 accomplishes this. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Approve Resolution No. 04 -101 Authorizing Blue Heron Days Parade Permit. <br />2. Deny Resolution No. 04 -101. <br />3. Return to staff for further consideration. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option 1 <br />
