ATTEST: J E RS06131B LAND, City Secretary RESOLUTION NO. 1Co I oie_, MIKE ROBINSON, Mayor City of Round Rock, Texas 5-3/-9/ Round Rock chamber of commerce 212 east main street • round rock, texas 78664 • 512-255-5805 May 29, 1991 Mayor Mike Robinson Mayor Pro —Tem Charlie Culpepper Councilwoman Tish Oatman Councilman Jimmy Joseph Councilman Earl Palmer Councilman Rick Stewart Councilman Robert Stluka, Jr. Dear Council Members: The Round Rock Chamber of Commerce has traditionally sponsored the Frontier Days events in downtown Round Rock. The local civic clubs and organizations which operate the food, drink and game booths make every effort to insure that the location of their booths do not interfere with traffic or emergency vehicles. However, we have a continuing concern that unauthorized booths, not under common control and not operating under the rules and regulations of the Chamber, might set up booths which are inconsistent with City policy. As in years past, the best method to prevent this problem is for the City to permit the Chamber of Commerce the use of the streets, sidewalks and parking garage for the booths and exhibits from Friday evening, July 5th through 1:00 a.m. Sunday, July 7th. The Chamber will assign booth space and be able to control booth activities. We will begin closing the streets at 4:30 p.m. on Friday night and they will remain closed until after the street dance on Saturday night. At the conclusion of the street dance the streets will be re- opened and cleaned.
