The event is tentatively planned for <br />September 16th, and would be open to the entire community. The event would raise funds to assist <br />service members, veterans, and military families. The group will be present to provide an overview <br />of their event and answer questions from the City Council. Their proposal is attached under <br />Attachment A. <br /> <br />The group is not asking for any assistance from the City but will require both City and other <br />approvals. Should Council be supportive of this event going forward, Staff will work on gathering <br />specifics on what is needed for approval, but will likely include the following: <br /> <br />-Event permit (issued by the City) <br />-Applicable gambling, liquor or other permits (may be issued by State and/or City) <br />-Necessary site plan or other related zoning/building approvals (issued by the City) <br />-National Guard approval (approved) <br />-Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office approval for traffic and security (needed) <br />-Lake Johanna Fire Department approval for fire code and fire/ems services ( needed) <br />-Minnesota Department of Public Health approval for food handling (needed) <br /> <br />Any formal Council approvals needed will be brought forward at a future meeting for <br />consideration.
