Sunday, June 6 is the scheduled date of the 26th annual Grand 01d Day event and we are busy securing proper documents, permits and licenses. The block permit applications requires written consent of 60% of the property owners or tenants adjacent to the portion of the public street, sidewalk or alley sought to be used for the community festival. Grand Old Day is celebrated along over 2 miles of Grand Avenue. To satisfy this requirement for signatures would be an insurmountable task for any person...or volunteer committee. The additional chaUenge of absentee landlords and thousands of tenants makes it even more daunting. We are requesting that you again recommend waiving the signature requirement for the Block Party Permit. As you know, Grand Oid Days are weil planned and executed in cooperation with many city offices, including the police department, city licensing, tfie Mayor's office, the fire department and the City Council. As a matter of fact, we had no complaints from our neighbors or security problems the last 3 years. It is our intention to duplicate these successes and continue a St. Paul festivai we can all be proud of. Char Mason, our Association Executive Director has been with us for the last three years and is also serving as the Festival D'+rector again this year. We are a!I working towards the best possible event for everyone! If you have any questions, I can be reached at 651/291-1107 and Char tJason can oe reacned at n5i/n"yS-��29.
