HomeMy WebLinkAboutVIII-03 Approve Special Event Designation - MN Fire Engine Club - Pumpers on the Mississippi City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Paige Marschall Bigler, Recreation Program Specialist
Date: April 4, 2022
Item: Special Event Designation
Council Action Requested: Designate the Minnesota Fire Engine Club ‘Hastings Pumpers on the
Mississippi’ as a Special Event with the following conditions.
Background Information: The Minnesota Fire Engine Club is requesting to hold a water display with
their fire engines at Jaycee Park on Saturday, May 28, 2022 from 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. This is a free
event and open to the public. The MN Fire Engines Club held this event last summer at Jaycee Park and
similar events in Northfield and Burnsville. City Staff are supportive of the event with the following
conditions:
• 15 parking stalls will be barricaded off the morning of the event (by the event organizer) and the
event space will be identified.
• The Parks and Recreation Department will provide barricades for the event organizers to pick up.
• 2 parking stalls will be used to provide “pull through” traffic flow for the parking lot. The pull
through lane will be delineated with cones and signs.
• Event organizers will post event notification at the Jaycee Parking lot 5 days prior to the event.
• Event organizers will cordon off a “restricted access” area around the trucks on display where
only event volunteers may enter.
• Event organizers will advise spectators to watch from Jaycee Park green space or parking lot.
• Event organizers are responsible for providing volunteers to assist with traffic flow of the Parking
Lot and assuring no interference to the boat launch, and that spectators do not park in the boat
launch parking lot.
• Event volunteers should designate an overflow parking location so cars don’t line up on Lock and
Dam Road. This may require sign or traffic control if it approaches capacity.
• Water drafting will come from the Mississippi River from a suction pump placed downstream of
the boat launch. Supply hose will be placed between the curb of the parking lot and the
Mississippi River by event organizers.
• Event organizers will obtain and supply a copy of a drafting permit from MN DNR prior to the
event date.
• Event organizers will submit required forms to the Hastings City Clerk for sale of food.
• No unauthorized vehicles on City trails.
• All event supplies and equipment will be removed by event organizers directly following the end
of the event.
