Signed: Mayor Attest: City Clerk AGENDA SUPPLEMENT TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Bill Hobson,Assistant City Administrator FOR: April 13,2009 Regular City Council Meeting RE: Conlon and Thompson Orthodontics Patient Appreciation Night Background. Last year, the City Council approved a request from Conlon and Thompson Orthodontics to utilize a portion of Whispering Oaks Park located adjacent to their business on Crystal Lake Road to host a Patient Appreciation Night. The event was limited to patrons of Conlon and Thompson Orthodontics and their families. A movie was shown on an inflatable movie screen and a dunk-tank and inflatable slide were also utilized. Approximately 200 people were in attendance. The city has received a request from Conlon and Thompson Orthodontics to host another "Patient Appreciation Night"on July 31,2009. The event remains unchanged from last year. A movie would begin at 8:00 PM and conclude at 9:30 PM. Drs. Conlon and Thompson have requested use of the park until 11:00 PM to allow time for their office staff to clean and exit the park. They have also requested a waiver of the $200 park usage fee. Analysis. Last year,the city received no complaints from surrounding residents and the park was left in satisfactory condition. However,staff recommends that Conlon and Thompson be required to provide portable toilets for the event. Last year, there was a problem with the restrooms at Fort McHenry due to the demand this type of event generates. Regarding the request to waive the$200 park usage fee,this is a private event that will create some impact on the park and Parks Maintenance personnel and therefore,staff does not support the request to waive the fee. Recommendation. To approve the request from Conlon and Thompson Orthodontics to use a portion of Whispering Oaks Park for "Patient Appreciation Night" with an outdoor movie, inflatable slide, and dunk-tank on Friday, July 31, 2009 from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM and maintain the $200 park usage fee. Staff also recommends that the applicant be required to provide portable toilets for the event.

March 05, 2009 City of McHenry Attn: Mr. Bill Hobson 333 S Green St. McHenry, IL 60050 Dear Mr. Hobson, Conlon & Thompson Orthodontics, Ltd. is planning to host our 2nd Annual Movie En The Park on Friday, July 31, 2009. Again, we are applying to use Whispering Oaks Park, the area directly behind our office. We are working with a company that will provide an inflatable movie screen. Our plans are to show a family friendly movie, serve popcorn, Snocones, Kool Aid, lemonade & water. The Dunk Tank (Dunk the Does) was a huge success last year that we plan to continue. We will also have an inflatable slide and different games. We do not charge for this event. Again, we plan to invite our patients for our 2nd "Patient Appreciation Night". Last year's event was very successful. Out patients enjoyed a fun, free and family oriented evening. We received numerous compliments. Actually, the evening was so successful, we would like to invite the Park District to take a peek and consider offering an event like this in the parks during the summer months for the entire community. We are asking that you waive the special use fee of$200.00. We thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, _-) L 4 C Ce Michael L.
