Warren County Council approves road closures and noise exemption for Fair Parade

The Warrenton Board of Aldermen convened on June 3, 2025, to discuss several key topics, including road closures for the upcoming Warren County Fair Parade and an exemption for noise restrictions during the fair. These discussions are significant as they reflect the city's commitment to community events and the logistical considerations that accompany them.

One of the primary actions taken during the meeting was the approval of road closures for the Warren County Fair Parade scheduled for June 29. Alderman Schultz initiated the motion, which received unanimous support from the board, passing with a 6-0 vote. This decision highlights the city's efforts to facilitate community engagement and ensure the smooth operation of local festivities.

In addition to the road closures, the board also addressed the need for an exemption from time constraints on loud noise during the fair. Alderman McCarter and Alderman Roemaker jointly moved to approve this exemption, which also passed unanimously. This measure is crucial for allowing fair organizers to manage entertainment and activities without the limitations typically imposed by noise ordinances, thereby enhancing the overall experience for attendees.

City Administrator Brandy Walters provided an update regarding the participation of city staff in the upcoming BSNA conference, which focuses on the software used by the city. This initiative aims to ensure that staff remain well-informed and equipped to utilize the software effectively, ultimately benefiting city operations.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's proactive approach to supporting community events and enhancing city services. As the Warren County Fair approaches, these decisions will play a vital role in fostering a vibrant community atmosphere. The board's unanimous votes reflect a shared commitment to the welfare and enjoyment of Warrenton residents.
