6 .-3¢ CITY OF <br />�^ EST.1906 Special Event Permit - Memorandum <br />To: Hugo City Council <br />From: City Clerk Michele Lindau <br />Date: March 12, 2019, for Council Meeting on March 18, 2019 <br />Re: MS 150 Bike Ride through Hugo on June 9, 2019 <br />1. BACKGROUND: <br />The MS Society has applied for a Special Event Permit for their annual bicycle event. <br />This requires a permit because there will be between 3,500-4,000 riders, and trails and <br />streets in Hugo will be used. <br />2. DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: <br />The MS 150 is a fundraising event for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This <br />event is a two-day ride from Duluth to White Bear Lake to be held on June 8-9, 2019. On <br />second day of the event, riders will be traveling through Hugo on the Hardwood Creek <br />Trail and the shoulder of TH61. There are planned rest stops along the route, but none <br />will be in Hugo. Riders are expected to be on the route through Hugo between 10:00 a.m. <br />and 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. <br />3. CONDITIONS: <br />The applicant has provided the City the completed application, fee, and copy of the <br />permit from Washington County for the use of the Hardwood Creek Trail. The applicant <br />is required to provide a Certificate of Insurance naming Hugo as additionally insured and <br />a copy of the permit from MnDOT for the use of the shoulder on TH61. The applicant <br />will contact the Hugo Fire Department and the Washington County Sheriff's Department <br />to notify them of the race, and any instructions they provide will be followed. At no time <br />will MS workers/volunteers/representatives be allowed to stop or direct vehicular traffic. <br />4. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION: <br />As in the past, Hugo Good Neighbor Days is on this same weekend. For many years, the <br />MS 150 event has passed through Hugo and posed no threat to the health, safety, and <br />welfare of Hugo's residents or visitors. Staff recommends Council approve the Special <br />Event Permit for the MS 150 as outlined above. <br />The event as described has been approved by the Hugo City Council on March 18, <br />2019. <br />Michele Lindau, City Clerk Date <br />
