• The alley behind Hastings Family Service needs to be barricaded at each end preventing foot
traffic and those attempting to sit in the alley. The alleyway must have the ability to be accessed
by emergency vehicles.
• Permanently assigned security staff to cover the far east perimeter around musicians’ busses.
• Permanently assigned security staff to cover the west perimeter by the legion and walking path

teardown and bands leaving.

Financial Impact:
The Rotary has requested complete waiver of any fees related to reserving Levee Park, the City’s parking
lot, and Sibley Street north of the alley by the American Legion Club. If that is acceptable to the City
Council, City staff recommends that the City of Hastings be listed as a primary sponsor of the event. This
would include the City’s name and logo on advertisements for the event. This coordination would be done
with the City's Communications staff.
Fees are associated with this annual event, which will be charged back to the Hastings Area Rotary Club,
in alignment with the City’s adopted fee schedule.

Mayor Fasbender and City Council Members:
The Hastings Area Rotary Club is requesting Council approval to hold our 8th annual evening
concert in Levee Park on Saturday, September 14, 2024.
Our fundraising concert event would run from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM. In addition to live music,
our event will include food vendors and alcoholic beverage sales. We would utilize Levee Park
and the adjacent downtown parking lot using the same layout as last year. (see the enclosed
site layout and event plan).
This year’s concert will feature performances by three bands. A regional band will play two sets
at the Rotary Pavilion stage, alternating with two national acts performing on a main stage
backing up to Tyler Street.
As part of our request for use of the park and the parking lot, the Rotary Club is again asking the
City to waive the rental fee for the Rotary Pavilion and surrounding park area, as the City has
done for our five previous concert fundraisers.
The Hastings Rotary Club is committed to continuing to grow this event and attract visitors to
enjoy our community’s downtown area and beautiful riverfront amenities. All monies raised
from this concert will be used to further the Rotary’s mission of service to the community.
Sincerely,
Tom Montgomery,
