Public Gathering Permit, Miracles of Mitch Triathlon
After a successful inaugural triathlon in 2004, the Miracles of Mitch Foundation
is looking forward to 2005. The event hosted 300 participants this year, and the
foundation is looking to double their participant totals to 600 kids. One
significant change is that the foundation would like to switch the day from
Sunday to Saturday. The proposed 2005 date is Saturday, August 20 at Lake
Ann Community Park. The sequence of events will remain the same, with the
time of the event running from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Staff is not anticipating that
the day change will have a major impact on participants wanting to use Lake
Ann that day. As long as the triathlon is completed by 12 noon, regular Lake
Ann users should not be impacted drastically.
Tony Schiller, one of the front line event coordinators, is only looking to secure
the date at this point so that the foundation can secure fund raising dollars. All
other event details and conditions will be worked out later.
RECOMMENDA TION
It is staff's recommendation that the Park & Recreation Commission
recommend approval to the City Council of setting the date for the Miracles
Kids Triathlon for Saturday, August 20, 2005 at Lake Ann Park. At this time,
only the date is being approved. All other specific conditions and event details
will be approved at a later time.
