Policy/Action Requested:
Authorize requested street closure, temporary liquor license 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 19 through August 16, 2017 on Lewis Street between First and Second Avenue. 

 

The Shakopee Chamber has submitted the attached letter with requests for road closure, picnic tables and barricades. The Chamber will be handling their own garbage pick up. The Chamber is not requesting any fee waivers.

 

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.
