Dear Chief Finney:

I am writing on behalf of this yeaz's Grand Old Day planning committee to request a
waiver of the required signatures for the biock pazty permit we are submitdng to your
office. Grand Old Day will be on June 1.
The block pertnit application requires written consent of 60% of the property owners to
tenants adjacent to the portion of the public street, sidewalk or alley that is used for the
community fesrival. Grand Old Day is celebrated along 2.5 miles of Grand Avenue,
beginning at Sale Street and ending at Fairview. To satisfy the signature requirement
would be an insurmountable task for any person... or volunteer commiuee. The
additional challenge of absentee landlords and thousands of tenants make sit even more
daunting. Therefore, we aze requesting that again this yeaz, you waive the signature
requirement far the block pernut.
Grand Old Day is a well-planned and executed event in cooperation with many city
" -- - offices� iricluding�e police department, city Iicensing, the mayor's office, the fire
department and the city council. As a matter of fact, we have had minimal complaints
from our neighbors or security personnel over the lasY several yeazs. It is our intention to
duplicate these successes and continue a St. Paul festival we can all be proud of!
If you have any questions, please fell free to contact me atlhe Asso�iation off'ice�
Sincerely,
����1<�
Amanda Schultz
Festival Director
