Cit~r Oouncil lIembers:
I am wri tting this letter on behalf of the ~~rior Lake Fire Dept. and the Prior IJake
V .1".',). This is a request for a exemption from the !I30 Day Notice" rule for an
outdoor concert. This idea came up late in the plamling stages of this event and
took until noVJ to put together. The idea is to have a band playing outside in the
same area as the Chicken Feed. ':Lihe type of music will be 50s - 60s Old Time Hoel:
and Eoll with a little CountI"'J. The band is veI"'J simileI' to the group "Bolid Gold"
which played for the ALL-Class Reunion. I would like to make these points in
defense of an exemption:
1. This event was already planned and scheduled. The band would just be an
added attraction.
2. No extra area would be needed from previous years.
3. The band should have little, if any, effect on the size of the crowd as this
event is always well attended. Most, if not all, extra security is already
planned.
4. This year's Chicken Feed will be the kick-off event in asking public support for
the bond issue coming up in the fall for a new Fire Hall. The band will be
a nice added touch and the breaks that the band take would be good times for
speakers from City Hall and Fire _Jept. to present t::eir case for Lis project.
5. The Annual .2-:;.:;..: Chicken :;"eeo. is the r:1ai~l fund raisinG even',: of the YCE.r for

je appreciate your consideration in this matter and either way it goes, I 'lihank You
and hope to see all of you at the Chicken Feed.
