PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Big Sky Polka Club is seeking temporary suspension of Section 24-411, BMCC, Parking for Camping Purposes, in the parking lot of the Shrine Auditorium, 1125 Broadwater Avenue, for its annual Polkafest to be held Aug. 30-Sept. 1, 2013. The ordinance allows the City Council to temporarily suspend the parking for camping ban for 48 hours on either side of a special event in the city.
The City Council has granted a resolution exempting the property for this event for each of the past several years. An estimated 8-14 RVs are expected to park in the rear of the Shrine lot. They are expected to depart on or before Sept. 1.
