Item # 8.1.B. <br />c <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director <br />DATE: August 8, 2007 <br />SUBJECT: Major Park Use/River's Edge Commons Park Wedding <br />Request <br />We have received our first major park use request to use River's Edge Commons Park on <br />Saturday, May 5~', 2008 for a wedding. They expect approximately 175 people at this event <br />and will be bringing flowers, balloons, fabric and an arch way. Time of the event request is <br />2-6pm. <br />River's Edge Commons Park is a beautiful place to hold weddings or other specialty type <br />events. This type of use brings more activity to the park which will lead to more <br />maintenance. <br />Staff researched area park rental policies and found a pricing ranged from $90 to $350 for <br />wedding park rentals along with a 1-3 hour time limit. <br />Staff Recommendations <br />Staff recommends keeping the park open to the general public, allowing this use for $100 <br />rental fee and requiring renter to secure and pay for extra portable toilets if needed. Permit <br />will include a reminder of park use rules. <br />
