The most significant effect of BPW <br />Resolution No. 21 -2011 is to establish a standard application form and a non - refundable <br />application fee of $25.00 for each special event, such as a block party, where the public right-of- <br />way is closed to vehicular traffic. <br />The BPW has estimated the City's cost of this process to be around $162.00 per event <br />(see attachment), and with the increase in these applications, the cost has become significant. An <br />application fee of $25.00 is just a fraction of the City's costs, and the BPW believes it to be a fair <br />and reasonable assessment for users of this service. <br />I will present this Resolution to the Common Council at its meeting on April 25, 2011 <br />and will answer any Council questions or concerns at the Committee meeting earlier that <br />afternoon. We appreciate the Council's consideration of this Resolution. <br />Sincerely, <br />,e,k7 S�A <br />Gary Gilot <br />Director, Department of Public Works <br />GARYA. GILOT, P.E. .DONALD E.
