BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: September 2, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Special Event Permit - Shalimar United Methodist Block Party
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: Two
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Shalimar United Methodist Church is requesting the use of
Shalimar / Port Dixie Park for a community block party.
BACKGROUND: County Ordinance #13-07 (regulation of county recreational areas, including
parks and beaches) addresses Special Events at county parks, beaches or recreational areas
within Okaloosa County.
A request was received from the Shalimar United Methodist Church Outreach Team to use a
portion of Shalimar / Port Dixie park for a picnic and movie on the lawn with other associated
activities available free to the community. They have held similar events at the park the last
four years. The Playground Area Soccer Association (PASA) has a Lease / Maintenance
Agreement with the County for the use of the park and has agreed they can accommodate this
request with their schedule. The use of electrical power for the movie will be provided at the
park. Expected attendance is up to 250 people.
In accordance with approved BCC policy, the Special Event fees have been waived due to the
non-profit status of Shalimar United Methodist Church. All required documentation has been
provided.
OPTIONS: Approve / Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request Board approval for a Special Event Permit to utilize
Shalimar / Port Dixie Park for a community block party as submitted by Shalimar United
Methodist Church.
