AGENDA ITEM 3A ii
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Ann J. Blair, City Clerk
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2004
TOPIC: Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 04 -102
Approving 5K Run Permit Application for Blue
Heron Days, August 21, 2004.
VOTE REQUIRED: (3 / 5) Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
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.
In May, 2004 the Council discussed activities related to the Blue Heron Days festival and
gave tentative support to the idea of a run or race in conjunction with this event. Such an
event also requires approval from the county parks department, as it involves use of their
trail system, starting at Centerville Beach. The permit process at the County level is
administrative, and is substantially complete.
The next step in the process is for City approval of the permit application, which is
conditioned upon applicant successfully working with the County parks department to
facilitate the event. The attached Resolution No. 04 -102 accomplishes this.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Resolution No. 04 -102 Authorizing 5K run application for the Blue
Heron Days festival.
2. Deny Resolution No. 04 -102.
3. Return to staff for further consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
Option 1
