SUBJECT:
title
Resolution Authorizing Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Joliet and the Joliet Park District (Taste of Joliet)
end
BACKGROUND:
On June 21, 22, and 23, 2024, the Joliet Park District will hold the annual Taste of Joliet. To help ensure a safe and successful event for all, it is recommended that the City of Joliet enter into an agreement with the Joliet Park District to provide police and fire services.
While the Joliet Police and Fire Departments have historically provided public safety services during the Taste of Joliet, the City of Joliet has recently begun memorializing the agreement in this fashion, as it is seen as the best practice.
The Police and Fire Departments will bill for the event and the city will absorb the cost, up to $85,000.00. All amounts above $85,000.00 in costs for extra duty services will be billed to the Joliet Park District. ln exchange for this service, the Joliet Park District has agreed to name the City of Joliet as an event sponsor and receive the customary benefits as such.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
The Administration recommends the Mayor and Council approve the attached Resolution Authorizing Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Joliet and the Joliet Park District.
