Committee approves holding National Night Out at city parking lot; plans vendors and outreach
Summary
Estacada committee voted 6-0 to hold the town’s National Night Out event at the city parking lot again, approving vendor and outreach plans and directing staff to file the permit.
The Estacada Traffic and Public Safety Committee voted 6-0 to hold the city’s National Night Out event at the same city parking-lot location used during prior years.
A committee member moved to hold the third annual National Night Out at the city parking lot; Shirley seconded the motion. Committee members said the location draws families, allows the fire department to display trucks and gives the event high visibility from the bridge and downtown foot traffic.
Committee members said they will recruit food vendors and nonprofit booths (501(c)(3) charities), invite local law-enforcement and emergency-response displays for children and coordinate with community partners. Staff said vendor applications specify food vendors and 501(c)(3) charities and that some organizations already expressed interest.
Committee members asked staff to submit the event permit to City Hall; a committee member said she would deliver the permit the next morning.
Committee members discussed logistics and alternative sites (an industrial park) but ultimately cited safety, visibility and existing partnerships in favor of the downtown parking-lot location. The motion passed 6-0.
