The City Council will conduct a work session Monday evening. Three

Community Event Permit
The number and types of community events are increasing. So too are
the liability, public safety and cost concerns. The staff has been directed
to prepare a Community Event Policy. To assure the staff is acting
consistently with Council desires, we are requesting direction on the
following:
1. Should a policy be created for all community events or only
some?
2. Should contracts with sponsors be required?
3. Should there be a differentiation between profit and non-profit and
community and non-community sponsors?
4. Should there be a limit on closure of public roads and use of city
infrastructure?
5. Should the event sponsor bear all, part or none of the related
additional costs?
While only 30 minutes is devoted to this topic, we have invited
representatives from various sponsoring organizations to be present if
they desire.
