PARKS - LONE STAR & SHERIFF 06-03-02
The Board discussed a request received from Alta-Sport to utilize Lone Star Lake for the 2002 LMH Triathlon on Sunday, September 15, 2002. Jim Whittaker, Race Director, and Michael F. Vickers, Executive Director, were present for the discussion. Alta-Sport requests that the beach and marina area be closed to swimmers and the general public from Saturday morning until noon Sunday on the weekend of the event. Sheriff Trapp discussed security issues noting that uniformed officers have been present in the past at no charge to the event. Sheriff Trapp noted that since the request includes closing the lake for a period of time it would be necessary to block off roads. He felt strongly that a uniformed officer be present, however, the issue of whether to charge events for these services, i.e., overtime, needs to be addressed. Jones asked whether utilizing lower cost staff would be an option. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works/County Engineer, stated that a private citizen d sn't have the right to close a road, so a county official would need to be present. He also stated that he would not be comfortable placing a Public Works employee in a law enforce ment capacity. It was the consensus of the Board that if the event is a for-profit event, they should reimburse the County for overtime costs. Jones then ex pressed concerns regarding the closing of the swimming area. Vickers noted that the event will be held in mid-September this year so there should be fewer swimmers than there would be in the summer months. Jones then made a motion that Alta-Sport, LC supply an event plan to the Sheriff who will decide what security and traffic control measures are needed; that Alta-Sport must reimburse the Sheriff's Department for the time actually spent by Sheriff's personnel on the event; that the road between the beach and the marina be closed all day Saturday, September 14th until the end of the event on Sunday, September 15th; and that the swimming beach be closed @ 3:00 on Saturday, September 14th, until the end of the event on Sunday, September 15th. Motion was seconded by Johnson and carried unanimously.
