Council Report 2003-125
RASPBERRY FESTIVAL CARNIVAL
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the following motion: Move to deny a
carnival at the American Legion Parking lot and 12th Avenue for the 2004 Raspberry
Festival.
Overview.
Staff received a request from the Raspberry Festival on August 13 to review the
possibility of the Raspberry Festival placing a carnival on the St. Joseph's parking lot for
the 2004 Raspberry Festival. The carnival also wants to extend on to lih Avenue.
Jim Mashek, representing the Festival, has been advised to ask the City Council for
permission to hold a carnival in this location.
Primary Issues to consider.
. Staff has briefly examined the issue and has the following concerns.
. A carnival at that location would impact the condominiums and townhomes along
lih ,
. There will be impacts to traffic patterns, and emergency vehicle response during the
weekend.
. Unless it is packed up and gone by Sunday it will impact the parade and the road race.
. The Police Department does not have the resources to cover another event on the
Friday and Saturday night of Raspberry.
. Staff has concerns about where cars will park that normally use this lot.
