Country Fair Days asks council to make stage expansion permanent and seek storage options
Summary
The Country Fair Days organizers asked the council to expand the Central Park stage 12 feet permanently to avoid recurring rental costs (about $3,500 per year); council also discussed donating labor, sprinkler relocations and identified secure storage options for fair equipment.
Organizers of Country Fair Days asked the council to consider permanently expanding the Central Park stage by about 12 feet to avoid the recurring rental cost of roughly $3,500 for a temporary stage each year.
S3 told the council the group would be willing to donate labor and asked the council to cover concrete costs (staff estimated about $5,000). Council members discussed potential sprinkler relocations and whether a longer-term or larger stage should be considered to support concerts; concerns included possible interference with park programming and the need for a sensible footprint. S3 and staff also discussed current storage arrangements: the group uses two conex/storage units and asked to use space at the new public-works facility; staff said they would identify an appropriate, secure location and coordinate access for event operations.
Council asked staff to coordinate operational details with the Country Fair committee and to confirm costs and sprinkler relocation needs before authorizing any permanent work.
