Parks And Recreation Committee Meeting 02/10/2025 – Will Vote On Memorandum Of Understanding With Wisconsin Entertainment Group To Manage 4th Of July Celebration

The Parks and Recreation Committee is meeting 02/10/2025 at 6:15PM.

They will be voting on two action items.

The first is a revised Park Pavilions and Special areas Rental and Fee Policy. There are three changes that staff wants to make:

1. Change days allowed for special events to reserve park pavilions for the following year from 30 days to 45 days after their event. This coincides with the special event policy.
2. Remove fee collection for Fire Department to inspect tents. The Fire Department is now collecting the fee and managing the inspection schedule.
3. Increase tent permit fee from $15.00 to $25.00 to assist with increased expenses for completing utility locates.

The second is a request to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Appleton and Wisconsin Entertainment Group LLC to manage the City of Appleton Independence Day Celebration. This MOU would be for a 3-year term with the option of two 2-year extensions thereafter.

As information items, the committee will be receiving the Grounds 2024 Annual Report, the Recreation Division 2024 Annual Report, and the Reid Golf Course 2024 Annual Report.
