Approve Permits for The Adventure Zone and Paintball Expresslow CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 19, 1991 AGENDA ITEM: APPROVAL OF PERMITS FOR THE ADVENTURE ZONE AND PAINTBALL EXPRESS AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT PREPARED BY: SUSAN M. JOHNSON, CITY CLERK AGENI` RIM ATTACHMENTS: PERMITS, MAP APP E 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.

Lathrop CITY OF ROSEMOUNT By• Vernon J. Napper By: •Stephan Jilk, Administrator Own� EXHIBIT "A" mmmn� 41 dmmmw� PA I�V TEA L L EXPR ENS 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.
