Item No. 07E <br />Type of Business: CB <br />Date: April 27, 2009 <br />City Administrator Review _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Clerk-Administrator <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: First Reading of Ordinance 820, an Ordinance Revising <br />Section 611.04 of the City Code Pertaining to Outdoor <br />Special Events <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On September 22, 2008, the Mounds View City Council adopted an Outdoor Special <br />Event provision into the City Code. The purpose of adding the provision was to promote <br />the health, safety, and welfare of all residents and visitors of the City by ensuring that <br />special events do not create disturbances, become nuisances, threaten life, health and <br />property, and disrupt traffic or damage private or public property. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />At the April 13, 2009, City Council Meeting, Staff discussed a possible event (sponsored <br />by Park, Recreation, and Forestry Commission) called “Music in the Park.” This event <br />would be a musical concert held outside in one of the City’s parks. According to the <br />Outdoor Special Event policy, this type of event would require a permit. It was the <br />consensus of the City Council to exempt any city sponsored event from obtaining an <br />Outdoor Special Event permit. Attached is Ordinance 820, revising Section 611.04, <br />which adds language exempting city sponsored events from this policy. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the City Council approve the First Reading of Ordinance 820. The <br />Second Reading and adoption will take place at the next City Council Meeting on <br />Monday, May 11, 2009. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Desaree Crane <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
