ATTEST: C Ann J. B(E4r, City Clerk Be eson, Mayor • • STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: BACKGROUND: AGENDA ITEM 3A i. Ann J. Blair, City Clerk July 12, 2004 Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 04 -101 Approving Parade Permit Application for Blue Heron Days, August 21, 2004. (3 / 5) Simple Majority The "Blue Heron Days" Committee are moving forward with plans for a community festival to take place August 20 -21, 2004. Two of the scheduled events, a parade and a 5K run, will be taking place on Saturday, August 21, 2004. On May 24, 2004 the Council approved Resolution No. 04 -73 expressing support for a parade along Lake Drive on August 21, 2004 in conjunction with this event. On May 25, 2004, the Anoka County Board approved closing of Lake Drive for the parade. This approval is contingent upon the parade organizers working with the County Engineer to facilitate the necessary detour. The parade will travel northeasterly along Lake Drive, with its initial staging area occurring in the SuperTarget parking lot. This will require temporary closure of a portion of Lake Drive, which is a County road. The parade will end at James Street. The next step in the process is for City approval of the permit application, which is conditioned upon applicant successfully working with the County Engineer on the detour, and upon ongoing safety, signage, and related concerns being addressed. The attached Resolution No. 04 -101 accomplishes this. OPTIONS: 1. Approve Resolution No. 04 -101 Authorizing Blue Heron Days Parade Permit. 2. Deny Resolution No. 04 -101. 3. Return to staff for further consideration. RECOMMENDATION: Option 1
