ANGELA BARSTAD
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE
PRIOR LAKE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE A CITY CO-
SPONSORSHIP OF THE 2016 LAKEFRONT DAYS
Introduction
Through the new community event ordinance process it was determined
that any event co-sponsored by the City of Prior Lake would require City
Council approval. The approval guarantees that only events officially
sanctioned by the City Council would benefit from the exceptions outlined
in the ordinance for co-sponsors.
History
Partnering with the Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce, the City of Prior
Lake has been an integral part of Lakefront Days for 32 years. The event is
held over three days and includes a variety of family-friendly activities to
promote the community. The City provides Lakefront Park as the event hub
and offers significant staff hours -- including police, public works, and
recreation -- to support this community event. The Chamber provides many
of the volunteers which make the event possible in addition to providing
considerable oversight over the three days.
Conclusion
The City Council should approve Lakefront Days as a co-sponsored event
with the Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce. City staff will work closely with
Chamber staff over the next few months to ensure proper planning and
compliance with permit regulations.
ALTERNATIVES: 1.A motion and second to adopt a resolution designating the Prior
Lake Area Chamber of Commerce as a city cosponsor for the 2016
Lakefront Days
2.Take no action and provide direction to the staff.
