Memorandtllll :Nlarch 21,2000 TO: Park and Recreation Board FROlVI: Tim Thomsen Public Works Superintendent SlJBJECT: Events in Stillwater Parks DISCUSSION: Attached is a letter from the Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce regarding events to be held in Lowell and Pioneer Parks. In response to their letter, I offer the following comments: The issue at hand is not whether or not to allow further events within our parks, but how often because of the damage done to the parks and the impact on downtown retail businesses during a major event. . At the last meeting downtown businesses representatives stated that major events downtown take away from business and that the only time someone comes into their business is to use their "facilities" instead of the "portable" facilities available during an event. The time between events is important to the recovery of a park to maintain is wholesome and aesthetic surroundings. The minimum time between major events should be no less than four weeks. While I commend the Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce for their interest, coordination and participation in events, none of the signatures on the attached letter, except St. Croix Valley Office Supplies, is a retail business that may be impacted by an event held downtown. RECO~IENDATION: Although the parks are public, the Park Board has the authority to prevent any organization from holding an. event and can decide the time span between major events for the protection and recovery of the public parks. If the Board decides to allow this event, I recommend that the time span between events be at a minimum of four weeks (recommend six weeks). ACTION REQUIRED: Discuss the issues in relation to holding another major event downtown. If the Board concurs with the recommendation they should pass a motion establishing a time span between major . events held in City parks. -- p~ . ___ ~ ~~ CVu vu ;C~ ~ 5rk. ~ p~'P(~~ ~~. ~ 4\~~ p~ ~V\, , - ~~\{~. .

GUIDELINES FOR USE OF STILLWATER PARKS PREPARED JUNE, 2000 BY CITY OF STILL WATER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE In an effort to preserve our parks while allowing for their use during events, we have attempted to create quantitative criteria to be used as guidelines. It must be noted that the list of current events which take place in the park do not all adhere to the established "rest time" we have outlined below. We feel that current events must be allowed to continue on the dates previously established. We also feel that these current events must not be allowed to escalate to a higher impact level number. That is, they must remain at their current activity level. We have set impact levels of one to five. Each event has been rated for each criteria level. The score is totaled and then divided by four for the final impact level score. Impact Levels I Events may be scheduled with no rest period required 2 One week rest period after event 3 Three week rest period after event 4 Five week rest period after event 5 Seven week rest period after event . Level Criteria Number of Vendors - any kind Number of people attending over entire period of event (Note: we understand this is somewhat difficult to determine, but believe we can use numbers published in press for previous years) Length of time of event (number of days) Use of space - how many areas of parks are used during event Number of Vendors 1 0 - 50 2 51-100 3 101 - 150 4 150 - 200 5 200 or more Number of People 1 less than 2500 2 2501 - 10,000 3 10,001 - 17,500 4 17,501 - 25,000 5 25,000 or more . Length of Event 1 less than one day 2 one full day 3 two to three days 4 three + to four days 5 five days or more Use of Space - one point for each space used Lowell Park South end Lowell Park South end parking lot Lowell Park North end to about Myrtle Street Pioneer Park Lowell Park North end after Myrtle Street (new) .
