Title/Name/Summary
Lions Club Orland Days -- Approve Permit
History
The Lions Club has submitted a Special Events Permit Application to hold Orland Days at the 153rd Street Metra Station, May 27 - 31, 2009. The parade takes place at 1 p.m. on Sunday, May 31 on West Avenue. Set up begins May 26 and teardown is June 1.
The Special Events Permit Committee met with Dave Neubauer and Steve Anton on April 2, 2009 regarding the event.
The village received a complaint from residents in the Orland Hills Gardens area regarding noise levels after the LionDaze fall event. Residents submitted a petition requesting several changes to the event. A copy is attached. It should also be noted that noise levels were taken at several locations during the event and none exceeded code.
The committee made the following recommendations to the Lions Club:
1. Turn down carnival ride noise earlier in the evening
2. Post signs in Metra parking lot earlier than last year
3. Notify residents and Palos Immediate Care facility
The Lions Club is reducing the number of speakers for the music. They have also changed the staging for buses on Special People Day to improve the flow of attendees and buses arriving and departing.
Carnival workers will not have overnight parking at the park.
On April 13, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Community Events & Outreach Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the Special Events Permit application for the Lions Club Orland Days and Parade May 27 - 31, 2009 at the 153rd Street Metra Station, providing that all necessary paperwork is completed.
