Background/Discussion The Elk River Area Arts Alliance has applied for a special event permit to host ArtSoup on Saturday, June 28, 2014. The festival will take place downtown from 10:00 a.m. — 8:30 p.m. The event will feature over 40 artists displaying their work in booths along Main Street and Jackson Avenue. There will be live performances throughout the day on the stage at Rivers Edge Commons Park and throughout the festival area. Additional activities will be offered in the Arts Alliance building and on the Granite Shores Plaza. The ERAAA requests closure of Main Street and Jackson Avenue for the event. The applicant is required to follow the Downtown Street Closure Plans provided by the city engineer. ERAAA also requests a portion of the lower city-owned parking lot be reserved for performers. The city does not charge for use of this lot for community events that are open to the public. The upper parking lot and the Main Street Parking Plaza will remain unaffected. Financial Impact • Parks and Recreation waived the Rivers Edge Commons Park usage fee; costs of$450. • Elk River Municipal Utilities places approximately 6-8 banners on light poles along the highway. Estimated staff time for two staff members is 2-3 hours at $75/hour each, for a total of$300- $450. • The Police Department will post No Parking signs provided by the applicant along the closed streets. Estimated staff time is 2 hours, for a total of$40. Attachments • Event layout • Downtown Street Closure Plan and ArtSoup Amendment
