Title
Special Event Permit for Orland Square Mall's Back to School Event (100 people)
History
At the December 6, 2021, Board meeting, the Village Board approved an ordinance amending the Special Events Permit authorizing the Village Manager to approve events under 100 persons and requires Village Board approval for larger events. Special events held on Village grounds are processed through Recreation and Parks, while events not held on Village grounds are processed through Development Services.
Orland Square Mall has submitted an application to host a back-to-school event with mini petting zoo featuring bunnies, ducks, turtles, and a baby goat provided by Animal Quest. There will be activities for children including face painters and a balloon twister. The event will take place in the lower center court of the mall. The event will take place August 12, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Financial Impact
The organizer will be subject to all applicable permits, staffing, and rental fees.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve permitting Orland Square Mall to host an indoor back-to-school event with mini petting zoo on August 12, 2026, contingent upon meeting all of the Village's permitting requirements, payment of fees, and inspections.
