Short Agenda For Tuesday Crystal Lake City Council

Crystal Lake City Council will meet Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 100 West Woodstock Street.

The short agenda includes a request for the temporary closure of Williams Street on Sunday, May 1 for the annual Raue Center for the Arts/Bob Blazier Walk/Run for the Arts.

Also for Council consideration is a resolution establishing rules and regulations for pavilion rental and special events at Three Oaks Recreation Area (TORA).

Possibly one of the first users of this is the League of Illinois Bicyclists Request to use the TORA for a special event on the night of June 16. The group is conducting its 9th annual Grand Illinois Trail and Parks tour in partnership with the state's IDNR, to raise funds for work improving Illinois bicycling conditions and showcase the state parks and other city parks.

The group plans to camp at the site from 11 a.m. to 8 a.m. the following morning. They plan to have breakfast catered to the location before leaving. Additionally, some of the participants "camp" in the motels in the area.

According to a letter of recommendation regarding the group, it is not a party group and the average age of the participants is 58. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources also highly recommended the group based on their experiences with them as users of a number of parks for the same kind of events.
