i) Applicant will work with the Parks and Recreation Department regarding the music the band <br />performs. <br />j) Applicant is responsible for any associated fees relating to park use and personnel (police <br />and park employees). <br />BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION <br />The applicant has requested use of Rivers Edge Commons Park and the adjacent city-owned lower <br />parking lot to host a wedding reception with 300 guests. The event is planned for Friday, August 17, <br />2012, 2 p.m. - 10 p.m. <br />Typically this request would not come before Council if the event was held only in the park. The Parks <br />and Recreation Commission reviewed the major park use request at their March 14 meeting and <br />recommended approval with conditions that are incorporated into this report. <br />Because use of a city-owned public parking lot is being requested, Council is asked to review the request. <br />Council should also be aware that another request could come forward in the future. There is a resident <br />who would like to have a portion of 193`d Avenue closed for a graduation party. The event is on a <br />weekend so it would involve staff being paid overtime, at the expense of the resident, in order to make <br />sure the street is safely blocked. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />Park use fees are outlined in Mr. Benoit's staff report. Additional fees would include a police officer at <br />$71 per hour. Public parking lots haven't been used in the past for private events. Staff would <br />recommend a fee be set for future uses at $150 for the first two hours, $50 for each additional hour, and a <br />$250 damage deposit. If these fees are approved, they will be incorporated into the fee schedule <br />ordinance later in the year. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />^ Recreation Manager's Staff Report to the Parks and Recreation Commission <br />^ Location Map <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />
