26 City Clerk Bartell reviewed the written report. Ms. Bartell indicated that the Administration
27 Department receives the permit application, reviews the proposal for conformance to general
28 regulations and then passes the proposal onto appropriate staff for further review for impacts to the
29 City and safety concerns. In this case, the application was reviewed by the Public Safety
3o Department and Director Swenson will report on their findings.
31
32 Public Safety Director Swenson reported on discussions with the event planners. There have been
33 three meetings. There are implications and some concern about the bike ride route due to a detour
34 of cars from Birch Street. At this time he feels there is an adequate plan in place for public safety
35 considerations. He noted that there will inevitably be complaints about this situation and traffic
36 related to the Birch Street detour. He reviewed the bike ride route (long and short). In providing
37 public safety personnel along the route, they will be focusing specially on uncontrolled intersections.
38 The staff that will be utilized are community service officers, on -duty officers and it probably one
39 overtime officer (the cost of the overtime officer would be billed to MS organization). Anoka
40 County has agreed to control the intersection of Hodgson and Ash. The plan is to do as little traffic
41 control as possible — hopefully staying away from controlled intersection unless needed. He noted

that fire division staff will be shifted based on traffic changes. He added that this will be a
staggered start event. The situation is as safe as staff can achieve.
Councilmember Lyden expressed concern about the left turn at Centerville Road and Ash Street.
Director Swenson said staff has expressed similar concern to Anoka County, not only with this
event but with the detour. It is not currently the County's intent to add traffic control but they will
add signage.
Mayor Rafferty remarked
that it's
a good thing to
assist in making
this event work but it is
obviously something that
requires
good planning
including by the
City.
52 Councihnember Cavegn moved to approve the special event permit with conditions established by
53 the Public Safety Division. Councilmember Lyden seconded the motion. Motion adopted upon a
54 voice vote.
