Staff Report
Date of Meeting: January 2, 2019
To: City Council
From: Judi Negus, Office Assistant
Re: Amended Special Event Permit Application
Minnesotan Cup Adult Hockey Tournament
Background:
Corey Roberts of Roberts Family Funeral Home and Forest Lake Floral has organized the Scanley Cup
adult hockey tournament during the annual Vinterfest community celebration for the past five years.
Although the hockey tournament is held during the City event, it is not sponsored by the City but
rather by Roberts Family Funeral Home and Forest Lake Floral. Therefore, a Special Event Permit
Application is required. The City Council approved the application at its November 20, 2018 meeting
for The Minnesotan Cup to be held on Saturday, January 26, 2019 from 7 a.m. to midnight.
Since approving the application, Staff has been contacted by Roberts with a request to extend The
Minnesota Cup (formerly known as the Scanley Cup) by starting the tournament on Friday, January 25,
2019, and running from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Roberts informed us that he has had late strong demand for
teams. The Scanley Cup had been run on Fri day nights, as well as Saturday, for three of the last five
years.
Issue:
Should an amendment to the Special Event Permit Application be approved for the Minnesotan Cup
adult hockey tournament to start on Friday, January 25, 2019?
Options:
1) Approve the request to amend the Special Event Permit Application.
2) Do not approve the request to amend the Special Event Permit Application.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
