Dear Mr. Boloyan,
I am seeking council approval to hold the fourth annual Saint Isabella Carnival October
7-9, 2005. The planned hours of operation are Spm to 10pm Friday October 8, 10am to
lOpm Saturday October 9 and loam to 6pm Sunday October 10.
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 Marin Humane Society.
We hope they will join us again this year. We are also hoping to have representatives
from the Min County Sheriff and Marin Search and Rescue.
The only complaint we received last year was regarding the placement of the portable
toilets along the fence between the school and our neighbors on Las Pavadas.
Unfortunately, I was unable to have them moved during the event last year. I will
personally see to it that they are placed in an area as far from any of our neighbors as
possible.
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.
I will be out of town between July 29 and August 20. Please bear that in mind when
scheduling this application hearing. Please call me at 415-5154650 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely:
IVtonica Ellen Rizzo
Saint Isabella Carnival Chairperson
