Dear Caron,
Exhibit A
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
I am seeking council approval to hold the sixth annual Saint Isabella Carnival, October
12 - 14, 2007. The planned hours of operation are 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM Friday, October
12, 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM Saturday October 13, and 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Sunday,
October 14.
This event is held completely on the private property of Saint Isabella. As in years past,
we will be providing ample off-street parking for all event goers and professional
security.
The carnival will include rides from Butler Amusements, games, astro-jumps, food, beer,
and wine. We will again be having community service and outreach attractions. Last
year we had representatives from the Fire Department and the St. Isabella Parish. We
hope they will join us again this year. We are also hoping to have representatives from
the Marin County Sheriff and Marin Search and Rescue.
We have received tremendous positive feedback about our carnival from our Terra Linda
neighbors. They enjoy being able to walk to a safe, fun, family event in their own
neighborhood. While we enjoy a modest financial success from the carnival, the real
value it provides is in bringing the community together.
We would like the $500 fee waived, since this carnival is held on private grounds and we
have historically kept the grounds neat, clean, healthy, and in sanitary conditions before,
during and after the carnival. (10.44.080 Claim for waiver of deposit)
I look forward to working you once again. Please let me know when you would like to
schedule the application hearing. Please call me at 415-302-0592 if you have any
questions.
Many thanks,
Jam7es Woolwine
Saint Isabella Carnival Chairperson
