The Livingston City Council meeting held on September 16, 2025, focused on community engagement and preparations for an upcoming festival. The meeting began with a discussion about the festival's logistics, specifically aimed at ensuring residents were informed about changes that would affect their experience.

One key point raised was the distribution of information through water bills, which included a schedule of daily events for the festival. Council members emphasized the importance of keeping the community informed about new measures, such as the introduction of fencing and a nominal entry fee of one dollar. This initiative aims to enhance the festival experience while managing crowd control.

Additionally, the council addressed parking arrangements for the event. It was noted that the parking lot would be open to the public, with a fee of five dollars for access. Importantly, all proceeds from parking fees will support the Police Explorer Program, which plays a vital role in organizing community parades and events.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue updating the community as the festival approaches, ensuring that residents are well-prepared for the changes and can enjoy the festivities without surprises.
