Action Items Revised Special Event Permit Guidelines Markle reviewed the Special Event Permit Application and Guidelines, including updated fees and language asking groups to provide sustainability practices, recycling and organic services, as well as garbage. She said that the revision combines several different special event permit applications into one. She said that the fees are on par with neighboring communities and often merely allow the City to break even because of the work and staff time required to assist with special events. She said that the permit process and guidelines allow for staff to regulate the number of special events that use Richfield’s public space each year, in order to minimize wear and tear on facilities and inconvenience to residents. Wendt moved to approve amendments and revisions to the Special Event Permit Guidelines and Application. Approved, ayes all.
