TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Lynn A. Lorenson, City Attorney
DATE: February 9, 2012
RE: Resolution Establishing Special Events Costs for 2012
BACKGROUND
On March 9, 2010, the Common Council adopted a Special Events, Marches, and
Public Assemblies Ordinance which allows the City to recover certain costs related to
extraordinary services provided to specific special events. The ordinance provided that
the Common Council would establish a list of standard fees and charges by hourly rates
or flat fees on an annual basis by Resolution. The ordinance also provided that the
Council may specify certain tasks that may or may not be subject to extraordinary
service charges.
Staff is not proposing a change from 2011 rates.
ANALYSIS
For 2011, Staff identified those services that had been previously provided for special
events and calculated the costs for providing those services.
In addition to the costs for various personnel identified in the Resolution, Council
authorized the recovery of costs related to special equipment that any of the
departments or divisions deem necessary to provide the services required or requested
of them at the City's actual cost.
Finally, Council waived all costs related to: community-wide parades and residential
neighborhood block parties recognizing that neighborhood block parties promote many
of the values of community policing and encourage relationships between persons and
their neighbors which provide many other benefits to the City as a whole. In addition,
traditional neighborhood block parties do not have a "sponsor" nor are they commercial
in nature. Similarly, Council waived costs related to parades, recognizing the
traditionally non-commercial nature of parades as well as their community-wide appeal.
Staff is not proposing any changes to the costs and is recommending the continuation
of the waivers for neighborhood block parties and parades for calendar year 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed resolution would allow the City to recover costs related to specific special
events within the City which require the provision of extraordinary services.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution as proposed.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
