Title/Name/Summary
2019 - Approval of Special Event for the Stellwagen Farm
History
The Village has received a request from Betty Stellwagen (please see attached letter), to use the Stellwagen Farm for a private family wedding. Currently, the Village does not lease out the farm as a special event location, as there are no public facilities or parking. However, given the close partnership between the Village and the Stellwagen family, an exception to this policy could be made by the Village Board. The family would still need to apply for a special event permit and comply with all requirements, including indemnification/insurance, tent/accessory codes, and payment of event-related fees.
The Stellwagen Family Farm Foundation supports the use of the farm for this one-time private event.
On January 21, 2019 the Board Meeting was adjourned after the consent agenda and this item was postponed to tonight's Special Meeting.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve a special event permit for the Stellwagen family farm for June 29, 2019 for use by Betty Stellwagen Maue, provided all special event requirements are met.
