Summary
Staff described a Coleman lot lease and public-safety coordination for Movement Music’s proposed seasonal ice rink and holiday market, scheduled to run November 10 through Jan. 9 with the rink operating from Thanksgiving through January.
Sedgwick County staff briefed the commission on a Coleman lot lease request from Movement Music to operate a seasonal ice rink and holiday market on private retail property. The group plans a 60-by-90-foot ice rink and associated food trucks and activities, with a site run described in staff remarks as running November 10 through Jan. 9 and the ice rink itself operating from Thanksgiving through January.
"They came to us a little bit late, and asked if they could run a ice rink out at, Walmart," staff member Tanya said. "What they're gonna do is they're gonna have an ice rink, a 60 by 90 ice rink, and they're gonna have food trucks out there." Staff said the county coordinated with EMS, the sheriff and fire to ensure public safety coverage for the event.
Staff said the county will charge a usage fee and that the revenue from the rental will be "a little bit under $8,000" for the entire rental period. Commissioners expressed support for the community-focused event.
No formal vote appears in the transcript excerpt; staff presented the item as a routine lease request with public-safety coordination and fee arrangements. Staff also said they coordinated timing with arena-event scheduling to avoid conflicts.
