Title
AUTHORIZE TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON 103RD LANE FOR CENTENNIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVENT ON MAY 23, 2012 (RAIN DATE: MAY 24, 2012)
 
Background
The City of Blaine received a letter on March 1, 2012 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 23, 2012, with a rain date of May 24, 2012.  The school is hosting their annual 5th grade track event during that time period and expects a need for additional parking to accommodate observers of the event.  In reviewing previously approved parking restrictions, National Street has no restrictions and needs no further action to allow parking, however, there is restricted parking on 103rd Lane and City Council authorization is required for the temporary lifting of those 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 103rd Lane from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on May 23, 2012, with a rain date of May 24, 2012.
