HomeMy WebLinkAbout20110222 - VI-02Mayor Paul Hicks and Hastings City Council Members Hastings City Hall 101 East 4 th St. Hastings, MN 55033 Dear Mayor Hicks and Council Members: As in previous years, the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau will be submitting a Rivertown Days agreement to the City Council for consideration at your July 5th meeting. We ask that you declare Rivertown Days, July 14 —17, 2011 as a special event for the City of Hastings. This will allow for special vendor permits to be issued. The Rivertown Days Committee would again like to have a beer garden as-part of the event and use the same guidelines for the defined area as were used in 2010. There were no issues reported with this approach to beer sales. This allowed more flexibility for festival attendees to carry their beer between the food vendors, music stage and other events. The area will be single fenced and will not be restricted to individuals over the age of 21. Wrist bands will be required to purchase alcohol. No changes are necessary to the ordinance. No outside coolers will be allowed in the defined area after 6:00 p.m. The suggested hours for beer sales will be from 5:00 —10:30 p.m. Friday; 3:00 —10:30 p.m. Saturday and very limited sales on Sunday. This will be worked out with the beer vendor, who we anticipate will be the Jaycees in cooperation with the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and the Hastings Police Department. The parade and any other events will be cleared through the Police, Fire and Streets Departments. Rivertown Days will be utilizing city parks for some of the events, and we appreciate all of your assistance in making Rivertown Days a great event for our community. If you have any questions or concerns about any of these events or requests, please feel free to contact me at 651- 437 -6775. Sincerely, AIV Michelle Jacobs, President Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau cc: Dave ©sberg, City Administrator Melanie Mesko Lee, City Clerk Dan Fluegel, City Attorney Chamber Board Members 111 East Third Street u Hastings, MN 55033 -1211 .
