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 17 through August 19, 2007. Events scheduled for
this year's festival are a parade on Lake Drive, 5K run, Chili Dog run, city ambassador
program with coronation ceremony, a petting zoo at the Spirit Hills Mall, medallion hunt,
bike rodeo and business expo at the Community Green. The festival executive director,
Alyssa Stull, has submitted a special event application requesting city permission to
conduct these events.
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 75 units in the parade; the proposed route for the parade would be the
same as in 2006, running on Lake Drive from Marketplace Drive to James Street, with a
staging area in the Super Target parking lot. He has obtained permission from Anoka
County to conduct the parade on County Road 23 (Lake Drive).
The Police and Fire 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 with the noted
contingencies.
