Title
AUTHORIZE TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON 103RD LANE AND NATIONAL STREET FOR CENTENNIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVENT ON MAY 20, 2015 (RAIN DATE: MAY 21, 2015)
Background
The City of Blaine received a letter on February 12, 2015, from Kathy Kaiser, Principal of Centennial Elementary School, requesting the temporary removal of parking restrictions on 103rd Lane and National Street in order to allow parking on those streets from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on May 20, 2015, with a rain date of May 21, 2015. The school is hosting their annual 5th Grade Track and Field meet during that time period and expects a need for additional parking to accommodate observers of the event. City Council authorization is required for the temporary lifting of parking restrictions. Over the past several years, City Council has authorized the temporary lifting of restrictions for this annual event and other events, including a "walk-a-thon" at Centennial in 2005.
Recommendation
By motion, authorize the temporary removal of parking restrictions on National Street and 103rd Lane from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on May 20, 2015, with a rain date of May 21, 2015.
