Julie Bartell, City Clerk

Resolution No. 12 -39, Authorizing issuance
of a Special Event Permit for the Lino Lakes
YMCA Farmers Market
3/5
City Code Chapter 615 are the city's regulations regarding special events. The purpose of these
regulations is to ensure that public events in the city are conducted with sufficient consideration
given to public safety issues and to understand the need for city services. The city charges a
fee of $50 for special event permits but waives the fee for events sponsored by non - profit
groups.
BACKGROUND
The City has received an application from Shama Braucks, Executive Director of the Lino
Lakes YMCA, to conduct a Farmer's Market in the city's Village Green Park. The market
would be open to the public on Thursdays from 3:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. from July 12 through
September 27, 2012. The purpose of the market is to provide fresh fruits, vegetables and other
Minnesota items to the community and promote healthy eating habits.
The YMCA has submitted detailed plans indicating how the market site would be set up and
maintained during operations, items that would be allowed for sale, site cleanup as well as
parking plans. They have submitted a site plan also containing additional details about the
parking and use of the park facility. These plans have been reviewed and approved by staff,
including the police and fire department.
RECOMMENDATION
The Lino Lakes YMCA application for a special event permit meets the requirements of the
city code and has not been found to present any safety concerns. Therefore, staff recommends
that the council approve Resolution No. 12 -39, Authorizing issuance of a Special Event Permit
for the Lino Lakes YMCA Farmers Market.
