NONE Davidson asked if the applicant wished to make any closing comments. Long: I believe all of the elements justifying the issuance of a license have been satisfied. Davidson closed the Public Hearing. Sisk moved that the Local Licensing Authority of the City of Louisville find that the applicant is of good moral character, the inhabitants of the neighborhood desire that the license be granted, that the license will meet the reasonable requirements of the neighborhood, that all City requirements and the requirements of the State law have been met and that, based on these findings, the Local Licensing Authority approve issuance of the license applied for. Seconded by Mayer. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 6 - 0 vote with Howard being absent. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - BOULDER VELO (COAL MINER CLASSIC BICYCLE CRITERIUM) - SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 1993. Dailey Riley, President of the Boulder Velo Club (local cycling club - 180 members in the Front Range), asked Council for a permit for the multi-lap, short coarse bicycle race in downtown Louisville on Sunday, August 8 from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. They felt that the race would compliment the Taste of Louisville, which is the day before. Riley stated that they are a non-profit corporation and, if the race is profitable, they hope to donate money, hopefully up to a dollar, from each competitors entry fees to Louisville's Police Department Dare Program. They had already met with Dianne Shanks, Steve Baysinger, Parks & Recreation Director, Tom Phare, Public Works Director, and Don Glass, Public Safety, to get a list of their concerns regarding this event. He stated that through their event permit with the United States Cycling Federation they can provide a $1+ million liability insurance policy for the event, including the City of Louisville and any other involved parties. The Club will provide all the marshall's manpower to stage the event. He explained that, if there are necessary costs to the City, as far as personnel from the Police Department or Public Works that need to be addressed, they are also willing to pay for them, as long as they can afford it.
