CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 3A
Julie Bartell, City Clerk
July 23, 2012
Consider Resolution No. 12 -64, Approving a
special event, parade /run and excluded bingo
permit for the 2012 Blue Heron Days festival
3/5
Plans are being finalized for Lino Lake's annual community festival, Blue Heron Days. The
festival will take place the weekend of August 18 -19, 2012.
BACKGROUND
Events scheduled for this year's festival include a 5K Run sponsored by the Chain of Lakes
Rotary, a grand day parade on Lake Drive, city ambassador program with coronation ceremony,
a petting zoo sponsored by the Lino Lakes Lions, police and fire department open houses, Magic
Bounce inflatables, a business expo, yoga and family activities at the Chain of Lakes YMCA.
Many of the activities for this year's festival will occur in the city's own Lino Park.
A special event application requesting city permission to conduct these activities has been
submitted to the city by Anna Wicks, Director of the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce. A
request for use of city property for some of these events and the related question of liability and
insurance coverage is being considered separately by the council.
The volunteer parade coordinator, Ms. Casey Block, has been working with city staff on the
parade details and has provided the following information. She anticipates approximately 75
units in the parade; the proposed route for the parade would be the same as in 2011, running on
Lake Drive from Marketplace Drive to James Street, with a staging area in the Super Target
parking lot. Ms. Block has obtained permission from Anoka County to conduct the parade on
County Road 23 (Lake Drive).
The Quad Area Chamber of Commerce will also be sponsoring bingo after the parade in Lino
Park this year. Non - profit organizations are allowed to conduct excluded bingo with local
approval of a permit. Ms. Wicks has submitted a permit application that will be forwarded to
the state if approved by the council.
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.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 12 -64, Authorizing a special event, parade /run and excluded bingo
permit for the Blue Heron Days festival.
