TIS b MEMORANDUM TO: Todd Hoffman, Park & Recreation Director Jerry Ruegemer, Recreation Supervisor '1 R May 5, 1998 FROM: DATE: SUBJ: Request for Public Gathering Permit, Water Skiing Event at Lake Susan Park Mr. Wade Bemmels from Midwest Watersports is requesting approval ofa Public Gathering Permit to hold a water ski event at Lake Susan Park on Thursday, June 11. It would be a charity event for Family Hope Services, who works with high risk children. The event would begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at about 9 p.m. Participation levels will be less than 50 people all day. Midwest Watersports plans on using one boat to pull skiers and one as a safety boat. Skiers will start from shore and ski a slalom course that would be set up 40-50 yards south of the sandy beach area. Midwest Watersports has assured the city that there will not be any music or a P A system echoing across the lake. They also indicated that they do not need to use the picnic shelter as a tournament headquarters, but will instead bring in a trailer for that purpose. It is staff's position that if Lake Susan Park is being used for the majority of the day, that the city should be compensated for site set-up done by staff for the event. It is recommended that either Midwest Watersports rent the picnic pavilion or make a donation to the city in the amount of $250. As the council may remember, the INT Waterski Tournament will be held at Lake Susan Park on May 30 & 31, and they were assessed a $250 fee. It is my opinion that the city should stay consistent in the fees. INT was also required to pay a $1,000 escrow fee; however, I do not feel this is necessary for Midwest Watersports because their event is much smaller. If council approval is given for the event, Midwest Watersports must also seek approval of a temporary structure permit from Carver County to allow for the placement of a slalom course. Mr. Bemmels has indicated he would fully cooperate with Carver County to obtain the temporary permit. Alllakeshore property owners around Lake Susan have been notified of Mr. Bemmels request. City of Chanhassell. A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a clJa/ming downtown, thrilling businesses, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

It would be held on Thursday, June 11th on Lake Susan. A good portion of the day will be a charity event with Family Hope Services and would conclude with a novice water skiing league. I realize others enjoy using the lake during the short summer we have, and for that reason would have only two boats in the water. Also, we would not request any sort of restricted lake access or use. I appreciate your time and consideration and hope to hear from you soon.
