Consider Resolution No. 08 -77, Approving a
special event and parade permit for 2008
Blue Heron Days festival events
Simple Majority (3/5 Vote Required)
The Blue Heron Days Committee is finalizing plans for the annual community festival to
take place the weekend of August 15 through August 17, 2008. Events scheduled for
this year's festival are a parade on Lake Drive, city ambassador program with
coronation ceremony, a petting zoo, medallion hunt, bike rodeo and business expo.
The festival executive director, Alyssa Stull, has submitted a special event application
requesting city permission to conduct these events. A request for use of city property
for the petting zoo, medallion hunt and business expo and the related question of
liability and insurance coverage has been considered by the council.
The volunteer parade coordinator, Mr. Bill Combs, has been working with city staff on
the parade details and has provided the following information. He anticipates
approximately 50 units in the parade; the proposed route for the parade would be the
same as in 2007, running on Lake Drive from Marketplace Drive to James Street, with a
staging area in the Super Target parking lot. Mr. Combs has obtained permission from
Anoka County to conduct the parade on County Road 23 (Lake Drive).
The Police and Public Works Department have reviewed the applications and have
signed off on the permits with the understanding that the applicants will continue to
follow their instructions on safety, signage and parking up to and through the festival.
The applicant must also have in place all necessary permissions for use of property
involved in the event.
The attached resolution approves the special event and parade permits.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Resolution No. 08 -77 approving a special event and parade
permit for the Blue Heron Days festival.
2. Deny approval of Resolution No. 08 -77.
