the Public Works Week Expo. This year, we are working primarily with CESCO to
keep the tradition alive by having a Mini Heavy Equipment Rodeo at the Expo.

IV. IMPACT
A. Strategic Impact:
The City Hall east parking lot will be closed for the expo and the mini heavy
equipment rodeo. The rodeo will take place in the center of the parking lot, and will
be roped off using traffic cones and caution tape. The equipment will be live and
operational, so it can be quickly moved, if necessary.
B. Fiscal Impact:
License and Indemnity Agreement $0.00
V. ALTERNATIVES
A. The City could choose not to sign the License and Indemnity Agreement with
CESCO; this will prevent the Mini Heavy Equipment Rodeo at City Hall.
VI. TIME CONSTRAINTS
Council's approval will allow for the timely return of the signed license agreement
to CESCO. This will allow CESCO to prepare properly for the Mini Heavy
Equipment Rodeo.
