Mr. Tom Hurt, Assistant City Manager was present

museum. He went on to note that the barricades had been moved South of Moor’s
Market and to the South of Fisk Funeral Home. He explained that there should
be minimal effects to any other businesses and that the streets would be open
again by 11:45 A.M. Mr. Hurt then noted that the

Mr. Luthie
noted that Mr. Hurt would need to contact Daryl in the Streets Department to
request the barricades.

Mr. Lane briefly explained the events
planned for the 18th. He noted that there should be about 1,000
people in attendance and that he did not anticipate any traffic issue. He
noted that there would be parking in the OUC parking lot as well as the Civic Center.
Mr. Nearing
advised Mr. Lane to contact Mr. Gearhart to find out
if the school’s lease includes the parking lot. He noted that if it did, they
would need to authorize the Chamber’s use of it.
Mr. Lane noted that he did have some traffic
concerns relating to the events of the 19th. He noted that he saw a
potential problem at the intersection of 17th and Budinger. He then
noted that he had received permission from the Doctor’s office across the
street to use their parking lot that evening and he was concerned about
pedestrian crossing issues and thought that some assistance might be needed.
The use of
Steve Johnson’s property for overflow parking was briefly discussed with Mr.
Nearing noting that it might require some stabilization.

would be willing to do that.

requested that Mr. Lane meet him at the site and he would
look at it see if it was something the City could handle.

signage must be placed so as to prevent visual obstruction to both pedestrian

On February 3, 2005 a letter was submitted requesting
approval for an additional event to be sponsored by the St. Cloud Pavement
Pounders on March 20th. The original application indicates dates
for the event to be March 18th & 19th. Which dates
are correct?
Mr. Lane noted this was an error and that
the 5-K race was scheduled for March 20th.
4. Since the letter
submitted by the Chamber of Commerce on February 3rd indicates that
the 5-K run is an event sponsored by “St. Cloud Pavement Pounders”, that entity
needs to submit a separate application, including review fees and insurance
coverage meeting the requirements of Risk Management, etc.
Mr. Lane explained that they
were being considered one of the event sponsors and would be covered under the
extended umbrella of the Chamber’s insurance. He then gave a brief over view
of the event noting that it had been expanded from a simple Business Expo to be
a full community event.
