Mr. DeFoe requested that an outside band be allowed during the City Celebration and be allowed to play from 8:00 p.m. until midnight. Mr. DeFoe shall work with the Circle Pines/Lexington Police Department to direct noise appropriately. Motion by Pelton, second by Dario to grant a Special Use Permit from Ordinance #4 to the Waterworks Bar to allow the outside band to play 8:00 p.m. until midnight during one night of the City Celebration, motion carried unanimously. Tom Norrell, Norrell Productions, was present representing the Minnesota Jet Ski Association. Mr. Norrell advised that this is the fourth season that he has been associated with water craft racing. He noted that he would go to Anoka County and the Coast Guard for permits for the events. He advised that he was present at this meeting to look for the grace of the City of Centerville and to clear up any possible misunderstandings. He noted that the events would take place on Centerville Lake. Mr. Norrell noted that a jet ski is considered a boat. He also noted that for the event they would leave no structures. Any markers would be put in in the morning and taken out in the afternoon. It was suggested that the dates for the event be June 7th, 14th and 18th; July 12th, 19th and 26th; and August 1st and 2nd. He noted that the race area would be confined and buoyed off and that if the racers did not abide to the confined area they would be out of the race. He noted that no neighbors are close enough to bother and that boat launches will not be a problem. Mr. Norrell noted that the City of Forest Lake, Hampton Beach Lodge and Garrison Bay all seemed to have been happy with the events that have taken place on their lakes. He suggested that on the high side there would be 60-80 racers and many more spectators. He advised that in the past jet skis races only involved a stand up a machine and now the sit down machines are allowed in racing. He noted while racing only 6-10 racers go out at a time. With regard to his organizational benefit, Mr. Norrell advised that spectators come they sell concessions (which Rich DeFoe at the Waterworks Bar will do this year) and they sell sponsorships. ~ Mayor Buckbee noted that many water skiers are coming out on both Centerville and Peltier lakes and in the past the area has been quite quiet. He noted, in his opinion, many people would not be happy with the events. The Clerk/Administrator had noted two City Ordinances which address noise. Ordinance #49 particularly addresses the time noise is allowable and Ordinance #4 particulary addresses City
