PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Millstream Arts Festival began in St. Joseph and was originally held
at the College of St. Benedict near the area what was at that time the horsebarn. The festival was
always held in September and included artists and food vendors. Many of the local organizations
sponsored food booths and it was very successful. Due to some location issues, the festival was moved
to St. Cloud and for awhile was held at Riverside Park.
Last year the event was held in St. Joseph and despite inclement weather the event was a success. In
order to provide a safe environment, the Millstream Arts Committee has requested authorization to
close Minnesota Street, similar to what has been done for the 4~' of July.
Since Minnesota Street is a County Road, County approval is needed as well as City approval. The
organizers will be securing approval of Stearns County and requesting City approval. As with the St.
Joseph Parish, a certificate of insurance will be provided naming the City and County as insured. The
Committee has also provided the City with the proposed detour which is part of the Stearns County
Application.

Permit Application as presented to allow the Millstream Arts Festival to utilize MN Street for the event.
