HomeMy WebLinkAbout[07b] Sal's Bar, Senior Farewell Proposal for an After Hours Gathering
for College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University Graduating Seniors
Friday, May 16, 2014
For the seventh year in a row, Sal's Bar, working in collaboration with the College of Saint Benedict and
Saint John's University, is requesting a permit for a Beer Garden in the parking lot on the eastside of the bar
on Friday, May 16, 2014 from 9:00pm to 1:00am. This day is traditionally known as "Senior Farewell".
There will be no band or music outside. Sal's management will contact all surrounding neighbors
informing them of this event.
In addition, this will be an after-hours gathering space for students. Beginning at 1:00am, students would
exit the bar into this fenced area where they will be provided with free pizza, soda, water, etc. This "after
hours" location (1:00am to 2:30am) would be the gathering spot where students could have some food and
non-alcoholic drinks and disperse in a slow and staggered fashion. The goal is slow the exit from Sal's, offer
some sobering food and drink, and provide students with a place to gather other than the city streets.
This event has worked well in the past due to the partnership developed through several conversations
involving Kyle Schneider (Sal's), Chief Joel Klein, City Administrator Judy Weyrens, Michael Connolly
(SJU Dean of Students), Shawn Vierzba (SJU Life Safety), Jody Terhaar (CSB Dean of Students) and Darren
Swanson(CSB Security).
Set-Up:
• The parking lot will be illuminated with portable lights for the event.
• A double snow-fence will placed around the perimeter.
• Porta-Potties will be rented for the event.
• A tent will be erected in the parking lot.
• Trash receptacles will be placed in the area.
Staffing:
• 2 FT officers and 2 reserve officers will be hired to staff the event.
• All patrons will enter through the main entrance of Sal's, and the Sal's staff will be responsible for
carding all patrons.
Clean-up:
• All trash will be removed from the parking lot and the adjacent streets cleaned by 8am, May 17,
2014.
This has been a well-managed event for the past six years. Saint Ben's and Saint John's is grateful to the
City leadership and Sal's Bar for working cooperatively on this event.
Representatives plan to attend the an April 2014 City Council meeting to respond to any questions
regarding this proposal.
