To: Honorable Mayor and Gity Council
From: Zac Dockter
Date: 1-24-08
Subject: Alcohoi Variance for Strawberry Fest Softball Tournament
Several years ago, our recreation staff set out on a mission to increase adult activity during the
Cottage Grove Strawberry Fest. As part of that mission, we successfully operated our first
Strawberry Fest Men's Softball Tournament at Lamar Park in 2006. That same year, our
recreation department also operated a 5k Run along our trail system. As you can see, this is a
very fun and active day for adults in our community. Our staff truly enjoys seeing our residents
partake in these fun, social and active community programs.
Since 2005, the city council has granted a variance to city ordinance 7-3-4-G regarding alcohol
consumption at the Lamar Park Softball Complex. This variance allows for consumption of
alcohol during the Strawberry Fest Softball Tournament. To date, we have not received any
alcohol related complaints during the softball tournaments.
We ask city council to consider approving this variance once again for the Men's and Women's
Strawberry Fest Softball Tournament to be held on June 14` 2008.
