Title
Special Event Permit for Sterk Family Law Group Networking Event (250 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 held not on Village grounds are processed through Development Services.
Sterk Family Law Group has submitted a Special Event permit request to host an outdoor multi-Chamber of Commerce business after-hours networking event on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., located at 11508 W. 183rd Place. An estimated 250 people are expected to attend. This will be an open-house (no tickets required) style networking event for local businesses to meet and network with each other. Tents, tables, chairs, port-o-potties, a 15x15 dance floor, and hand-washing stations will be provided. Food will be catered and a liquor application will be submitted to the Mayor's office. Set up will be May 19, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. and tear down will be May 21, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.
Financial Impact
The organizer will be subject to all applicable permits, staffing, and rental fees.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve permitting the Sterk Family Law Group to host a multi-Chamber of Commerce business after hours networking event on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, contingent upon meeting all of the Village's permitting requirements, payment of fees, and inspections.
