  • Discussion Item: Section 14-52
    City Administrator Carol J. Mitten 400 S Vine St • Urbana IL 61801 • (217) 384-2454 • [email protected] MEMORANDUM To: Urbana City Council Members CC: Mayor Diane Wolfe Marlin Karen Medina, IMC President Danielle Chynoweth, IMC Treasurer Charlie Smyth, City Clerk From: Carol Mitten, City Administrator Re: Background Materials on IMC Notice of Violation of UCC Section 14-52(c) Date: July 5, 2019 Thank you for the time to prepare an informed response to the public commentary you heard during the July 1 City Council meeting concerning the IMC and our recent dealings with them regarding special events. I will have more to say at the Committee of the Whole meeting on Monday about how to move forward, but I think this is useful background for you to have. Special Events Ordinance The Special Events Ordinance (a complete copy of which is attached) was passed by the Council on September 18, 2017. A significant motivating factor for the implementation of the Ordinance was to give the City tools to become more proactive and less reactive to problems that arise during certain kinds of events. The subsections that are most relevant to the on-going concerns with the IMC are all contained within Section 14-52. I would note a few things. First, when the Council passed the Ordinance, it did not make the imposition of Subsection 14-52(c) optional. Specifically, Subsection 14-52(c)(1) says, “If a person conducts or hosts an event which was exempt under subsection (b) but to which city resources were deployed to address a threat to human life, health or safety or property, such person shall be required to obtain a permit in order to hold or host any future similar event within the twelve-month period following…” [Emphasis added] When the Special Events Ordinance was under consideration, there was a discussion at the August 28, 2017 Council meeting about the challenge of defining what events need to be further controlled, in the event of a 14-52(c) violation.

  • Utah Rural Summit, It Is Vital That We Embrace and Adapt to New Practices for Traveling, Socializing and Learning
    October 6, 2020 R i STEPHEN LISONBEE We have a rich history in Rural Utah of being resilient - a sense of toughness! Our history has shown us the road map of how we respond to challenges and opportunities. We are currently in the middle of something significant and our ability to be tough together is helping us lift meaningful efforts that are ensuring we have vibrant and thriving communities. CARINE CLARK Rural Utah' is not just one place -- it is a collection of vibrant and diverse communities that hold the keys to unlocking the future growth and opportunities for our state. We must plant the seeds favorable to our own future success. People forget that long ago, Lehi, Utah was considered rural -- and now it's ground zero for one of the nation's fastest growing tech communities. Imagine what we can do when we really try. DERRAL EVES As we look to impact Rural Utah, we should explore and analyze its history. Today more than ever, we need to have the same level of innovation, determination, and resilience of those who came to this great state with hope for a brighter future. Let us mirror that hope and drive for our future, but not be stuck in “the same old way” of doing things. ERIC SCHMUTZ Rural Utah has a deep connection to getting things done. However, in today’s world of global economics the value of small and simple things can often be overlooked or even lost. We should never underestimate the beauty and power of sticking to the basics.

  • Talking to Strangers: the Use of a Cameraman in the Office and What
    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.

  • Hosting a Non-Profit Launch Party: a Beginners Point of View
    Hosting a Non-Profit Launch Party: A Beginners Point of View An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Mae Baczynski Thesis Advisor Dr. Jason Powell Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2020 Expected Date of Graduation May 2020 Abstract Hosting a non-profit launch party is the first big event the organization will put on. Beneficence Family Scholars is a non-profit in Muncie, Indiana that was created by 16 Ball State University students. None of the students had experience hosting an event as large as a launch party and had to overcome challenges along the way. This paper discusses the planning and execution of the launch party, invitations, silent auction, venue, catering, florist, entertainment, speakers, and fundraising that went in to hosting a successful launch party, followed by suggested improvements that could have been made or should be made in the future. Acknowledgments I cannot express enough appreciation to Dr. Jason Powell for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the life-changing immersive learning project of creating Beneficence Family Scholars and for his patience, guidance, and support while I worked on my thesis. I couldn’t imagine having a better advisor and friend. My completion of my project couldn’t have been done without all the students that created Beneficence Family Scholars and organized the launch party. Thank you to Lydia, Rebecca, Zach, Liz, Steph, Tristan, Olivia, Eliza, Phil, Dorien, Liz, Bobbie, Alli, Elianor, and Abbie. And a special thank you to Ball State Honors College for giving me the opportunity to be a part of something big.
