Resolution to Approve the 2010 Ann Arbor Jaycees Summer Carnival at Pioneer High School - July 8 to July 11, 2010
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve the 2010 Ann Arbor Jaycees Carnival to be held at Pioneer High School from Thursday, July 8 to Sunday, July 11, 2010.
After a number of years with few problems at the Jaycees Summer Carnival, Police presence was reduced in 2007. However, serious problems occurred during the 2007 event, and in an effort to regain control of the event, and following discussions in 2008 between the sponsor and Police Services, scheduled Police presence was to be significantly increased from 5:00 PM to closing each night, with the doubling of the number of officers and the addition of a supervisor as well as a reduction in late evening hours.

· Restrict access to fair grounds after 9:00 P.M. to only “paid admission” patrons
