Louise Kautenburg said at one time, Riverview Park was only to be used for non -profits and the five festivals that the City sponsored each year but it appears now that profiteers are using the park for their business place. She noted the labels put on the profiteer's festivals have nothing to do with the titles and they are nothing more than a commercial event. She said it wasn't fair to the citizens to have commercial events every weekend and asked Council to consider if it was the right thing to do for all citizens. To accommodate Barb Snow's events, the City Manager said he recently required police officers to be on site as well as a waste receptacle on site for each event. Council Member Nunn said he didn't know if the for profits events were serving the mission of the park. Regular City Council Meeting April 10, 2024 Page 5 Vice Mayor Dixon said less people are attending the craft fairs because people are festivaled out or confused as to which event it is. Mayor Dodd said he had concerns using the word commercial vs. non-commercial because at each event, booths are selling items at City sponsored events for a profit, 6:53 pm which is commercial. He said it was a slippery slope for them to decide which entities would be able to make a profit in the park. Vice Mayor Dixon suggested limiting the commercial entities to three events a year. Mayor Dodd suggested that the City Manager talk to the City Attorney and the Growth Management Department to come back with a proposal on how to do that.
