J[ sm pH MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: Council Agenda Item 9 June 3, 2010 Millstream Arts Festival — Road Closure Request Administration BOARD /COMMISSION /COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Millstream Arts Festival Committee has been working on planning the 2010 Festival. The Festival is growing in both attendance and artist so this year the committee is looking to expand the artist area in front of the Millstream Shops and Lofts. Expanding the shopping area also provides for pedestrian traffic past the Shops and Lofts creating additional awareness to the business opportunities in St. Joseph. Therefore, they are requesting the Stearns County and the City to close the aforementioned intersection. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Millstream Arts Festival will be held on September 26, 2010 between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The artist will set up early that morning. In order to provide a safe environment, the Millstream Arts Committee has requested authorization to close Minnesota Street from 2nd Avenue NW to the eastern edge of the Millstream Shops and Lofts and College Avenue North, north to the east /west alley ( Yz block). The new area added this year is the one -half block on North College Avenue. The Committee does have a plan for detour and will work with Stearns County and the St. Joseph Police Department. 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. The Millstream Committee will be in contact with the property owners affected by the Millstream Arts Festival. With regard to St. Joseph's church, the committee will be opening the road for access to the parking lot and closing the parking lot after the 10:00 AM mass.
