City weighing 20000 dollar deposit for Color Run in downtown Lawrence
City commissioners consider a 20000 dollar pre event deposit from Color Run organizers to ensure cleanup and police coverage costs are recouped. The for profit event last year drew about 7000 participants and loops through Watson Park and streets around downtown. If organizers fulfill traffic control and cleanup promises the deposit is refunded. otherwise the city keeps funds to cover costs. The move aims to set a precedent for hosting for profit events while protecting city finances.
