WORK SESSION
Mayor Hogue convened into Work Sessions at 6:51 p.m.
• Discussion and possible direction for a future 180-day moratorium on special events
involving running, walking, and/or cycling on public right-of-way.
City Manager Manson addressed Council stating that staff wanted to get direction from Council on the
possibility of enacting a 180-day moratorium on certain types of special events. With the growth in the
City and associated traffic, staff believes that the current Special Event Ordinance does not provide
criteria for the safe and effective control of events such as 5K races. Issues such as the required
manpower from Public Safety, Parks, and Public Services, who covers the cost for that manpower, and
approved safe routes continue to be issues as multiple entities submit applications for these events. As
staff continues to research sample ordinances from other communities, it is requested that a temporary
180-day moratorium be put in place until an updated ordinance can be presented to Council for
consideration. The city attorney has prepared a draft ordinance that can be brought back at a subsequent
meeting and is included for review.
Mayor Hogue stated that many cities limit the amount of 5Ks allowed during the year and designate
specific areas where they have to be held. Councilwoman Arrington asked if the moratorium would
affect events that are currently on the calendar. Manson replied that staff has a good idea of what the
annual events are so, as long as they file an application and touch base with staff, the City will work with
them. Manson clarified that this is addressing events whose participants will walk on the roads or in
neighborhoods; not ones held on private property. Manson replied staff does not want to make this
moratorium permanent and it could be for a shorter amount of time,just so staff can get the structure and
parameters in place to ensure the events are safe. Councilman Forrester requested that the entire special
events process be reviewed more broadly. Mayor Hogue stated that something needs to be in place so
that staff is aware of planned events and can be prepared. Councilwoman Arrington stated if this is a
topic about City staff and resources being used, this is a broader topic that needs to be reviewed to include
any events, not just 5Ks. Manson replied that staff is currently reviewing the special events ordinance
and comparing ours with other cities. This is a short-term, temporary stop to 5Ks due to safety concerns.
Mayor pro tern Stephens stated who pays for a fee and how not-for-profit and for-profit organizations are
handled are things to consider.
Becky Welch, Run for our Heroes coordinator, addressed Council stating that their not-for-profit group
follows the rules for all of the events that they host and their group would have no problem paying a fee

to hold an event. She stated she feels a private vs. not-for-profit event might be looked at differently
relating to the fee.
Councilman Wallis stated if fees are put in place to hold an event he would like to be considerate of the
size of the not-for-profit group. He also asked what it costs the City to work an event. Mayor Hogue
stated he would like to know how much an event currently costs police, fire, and public works and would
like that cost to not only include 5Ks but also Boo on Ballard. Mayor Hogue stated he would also like to
know what they City currently pays to use other facilities located in the City.
The consensus of council was to proceed with bringing a moratorium to Council for approval with
Councilman Dahl, Wallis, and Forrester stating they would like the shortest amount of days as possible up
to 180 days.

Mayor Hogue reconvened into Regular Session at 7:24 p.m.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Councilman Dahl, seconded by Councilwoman Arrington, to adjourn the meeting
