EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION

AGENDA ITEM: APPROVAL OF PERMITS FOR THE
ADVENTURE ZONE AND PAINTBALL EXPRESS

ATTACHMENTS: PERMITS, MAP

I have been contacted by the owners of The Adventure ZcZ and Paintball
Express regarding renewal of their respective permits for the paintball
operations in Rosemount. Brett C. Harvey is the owner/operator of The
Adventure Zone, and James H. Lathrop is the owner/operator of Paintball
Express, Inc. As you will recall, both individuals were before the Council
last year requesting permission to operate in our City.
I have attached a map indicating the locations of the two businesses.
Also attached are the permits for issuance upon your approval. The only
change to the permit is a requirement for payment of a $50 fee. I felt the
permit holders should be responsible for any administrative time involved,
and this amount, at this time, seemed equitable and supported staff time
and costs for processing the permits.
Mr. Lathrop and Mr. Harvey have indicated they have signed their respective
leases with the property owners.
Both businesses' liability insurance are in effect now and will expire
during the permit period. Of course, the city must receive their renewals
on or before their expiration date. I have put both business owners on
notice that in 1992 they will have to have their liability insurance run
concurrently with the permit period of April 1 to November 1.
Police Chief Knutsen has informed me there were no complaints filed or
incidents involving his department last year.
I would request your approval to allow these businesses to operate again in
Rosemount and approve the permits subject to the business owners meeting
the conditions set out in the permit.

What is Paintball?
Paintball is a game generally played outside in which players attempt to tag
opposing players using a CO2 powered marking pistol that shoots a marble sized
Paintball. This paintball contains a non-toxic, biodegradable dye which can be
washed off with soap and water. It is a physically rigorous game during which
YOU may be running through the woods, crawling on the ground, hiding behind
trees and obstacles or just waiting with anticipation. Generally players are
divided into two teams. Each team has their own flag station and opposing
players try to capture the flag and return it to their own flag station without
being tagged. The risk of being tagged is most often viewed as an integral part
of the game that gives it the intensity and excitement that other games lack.
Paintball is no more dangerous than any of the other commonly played sports,
such as softball or skiing. Despite appearances, Paintball is harmless, clean
fun. It is enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of men and women nationwide and
must be experienced to truly appreciate that it is recreational to the people
who play. Paintball is a fun -filled, action packed outdoor sport that will have
you and your friends feeling like kids again.
How to make reservations
To ensure a reservation for the date and time that is best for your group, cal*'
Paintball Express at least 2 weeks in advance. A $50.00 deposit will E
required at that time to lock in your reservation. This deposit
non-refundable. You need to organize a group of 16 or more players and collect
their rental package fee to be sent to us at least 1 week in advance of your
Playing date.
Organizer Suggestions
1. An important role of the organizer is to ensure that all player in the group
fully understand the contents of this brochure before your playing session to
assure that no one comes unprepared, as these unprepared players could cause
delays in play.
2. It is your responsibility to collect all of the player's admission fees and
send them to us at least 1 week prior to your playing date, to assure their
commitment to play. It is our repeated experience that players who put out
money ahead of time will nearly always show up.
3. It is best to wear clothing that you don't mind getting dirty, wet, or
Possibly torn. Camouflage clothing is best suited for the game but required.
It is recommended that at least darker color clothing with long sleeves and
long pants be worn.
4. Make sure that your shoes are comfortable, as playing often requires a lot of
running. Tennis shoes or a light weight pair of shoes are recommended.
S. Remember to remove valuable necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. at home so as
not to lose them in the woods.
6. Other than your initial prepaid admission, you will need some extra cash for
Paint, CO2, and refreshments. The average cost (including admission) is about
$25.00-$30.00 for the playing session.
7. It is a good idea to arrange a rendezvous at a previously agreed upon
location and travel together to ensure that all players arrive at the
Playing field at least 30 minutes ahead of your scheduled playing time.

players show up to have an enjoyable day. We accept checks at the playi-
