Discussion:

The Rhythm on the Rails event is scheduled for five Wednesdays starting July 17 through August 14, 2019 on Lewis Street between First and Second Avenue.

 

The Shakopee Chamber has submitted a special event application with requests for road closure, use of Lewis Street parking lot, picnic tables, barricades and garbage pick up. The fees for liquor licensing will be paid by the Chamber. We will get space to promote the city as in kind donation for the event. 

 

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.
