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.
