PURPOSE:

BACKGROUND:
Aurora University has held the event for the past 2 years at Kane County's Oakhurst Forest Preserve. Part of the course consisted of small gravel and sand, and was always in rough shape that early in the year. The organizers are proposing to switch this year's route to be on solid ground.
DISCUSSION:
Aurora University is responsible for all costs associated with this event. The organizers have indicated that the Aurora University Campus Police will be available and the University has cones that can be utilized if needed. The organizers are expecting 100 participants and 40 staff/volunteers to help.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Services are being requested from the Aurora Police Department Traffic Control Division.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Forward to the Government Operations Committee for review/approval.
