Subject:
Shakopee Chamber of Commerce request for Rhythm on the Rails event to be held Wednesdays from July 18 through August 15, 2018.
Policy/Action Requested:
Authorize requested street closure, temporary liquor license, in-kind donation and support of the Rhythm on the Rails event hosted by the Shakopee Chamber of Commerce.
Recommendation:
Approve the above motion.
Discussion:

The Rhythm on the Rails event is scheduled for five Wednesdays starting July 18 through August 15, 2018 on Lewis Street between First and Second Avenue.

 

The Shakopee Chamber has submitted the attached letter with requests for road closure, use of Lewis Street parking lot, picnic tables, barricades and garbage pick up. The fees for the event will be waived for in-kind services provided to the city such as display of our city logo and city booth.

 

The applications for the event and liquor licenses are in order. They are requesting that the council suspend city code 114.11 (A) Consumption and possession on public streets, property and the like to allow patrons to drink on Lewis Street. They will be putting wrist bands on persons purchasing liquor at the event.

Budget Impact:
Staff time will be needed to drop off and pick up the picnic tables, barricades and clear the streets for the event. Most of this can be accomplished through normal working hours.
