City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers From: Melanie Mesko Lee, Assistant City Administrator Date: August 16, 2012 Item: Special Event—Ladies Night in Support
of the United Way of Hastings Council Action Requested: Approve a request by Jodi Husting for an event in Meadowview Court in support of the United Way of Hastings. Background Information:
Ms. Husting has made application for a street closure at Meadowview Court on Thursday, September 13, 2012 from 5-8 p.m. to have a “Ladies Night” event that would support the United Way
of Hastings. Ms. Husting estimates 200 attendees and is requesting the ability to have vendors selling. Due to the size of the proposed event and the presence of vendors on public property,
it is staff’s recommendation that this request be approved by the City Council as a Special Event as opposed to a Block Party request, which is handled administratively. Ms. Husting
has contacted the property owners of Meadowview Court and 11 of the 12 owners have indicated awareness and support of the event. The last property owner has not yet been contacted, but
Ms. Husting indicates that she will do so. Staff has reviewed the request and recommends approval. Ms. Husting will be responsible for providing the appropriate barricades to Meadowview
Court, as the City no longer allows City barricades to be used for that purpose. Financial Impact: N/A Advisory Commission Discussion: N/A Council Committee Discussion: N/A Attachments:
