Well just so everybody knows the Ace Race cannot move to Brown Park so it will have to stay at Hudson Mills.
A3 cannot afford to pay the fees the city requires to make the event legit. nor do we have time to jump through all the hoops the city will require, assuming the city is motivated to push the paperwork through quickly enough.
Minimum fee to use the park for an event is $110 if a ann arbor city resident submits the application, plus an additional fees for every 25 people above 75 people planned, plus $150 porta potty fee. Additionally you have to supply proof of insurance and we are not willing to pay for that either. We are not insured to run events at Brown Park.
Additionally we would have to supply a parking plan that is a big joke there is what 10 spots in the park.
I forget what other problems or issues would have to be resolved to make it happen. If Terry feels like filling any holes i might have missed in the fees i will leave that to him.
A3 will not try to be sneaky and go into a city park and run an event under the radar. The risks are to great. Not just in fines but in our relations with the city.
So we will go back to Hudson as originally planned and run our Ace Race, sorry for the short lived dream there everybody.
With these fees and issues i don't see it being feasable to legally run an event at Brown park.
Oh and if anybody thinks i am making any of this up please do feel free to contact the city and discuss these things with them.
A3 will hold its Ace Race at Hudson Mills, as originally planned. we will how ever keep the Entry fees at the adjusted $15, this will significantly reduce A3's donation to the Dot Prizes. It will also reduce the Ace Race Ace Pool but that is to be expected with lower entry fees.
Hope to see you at Hudson Mills
