City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers
From: Melanie Mesko Lee, Assistant City Administrator
Date: January 13, 2011
Item: 2011 Historic Hastings Saturday Night Cruise Ins
Council Action Requested:
Designate 2011 Historic Hastings Saturday Night Cruise Ins as a Special Event and approve street
closings.
Background Information:
The car shows the last few years have been very successful, and the Downtown Business
Association has made a request to have certain dates designated again in 2011, with certain street
closings associated with the event.
In previous years, the City Council had ordered an informational public hearing and notified
surrounding property owners, business owners, and residents of the scheduled meeting for their
feedback. Due to the responsiveness of the DBA as the organizer of this event, staff is
recommending that a public hearing is no longer necessary. The City would request that the
DBA do some type of outreach to surrounding property owners in advance of the 2011 planned
dates.
The 2011 proposal is to hold the car show every other Saturday, beginning late May through early
October, 2011. As part of this planning process, the Hastings Downtown Business Association is
also making a request to close off parts of East 2nd Street and some other streets to accommodate
the Cruise-In. This request is similar to previous year requests.
