Council approves Arbor Day street closure and Outfest special-event permit
Summary
The council approved a half-block morning closure on Crown Lane for Arbor Day and approved the 17th annual Outfest event scheduled for Aug. 16, including beer/wine permitting steps.
The council approved two special-event requests.
Jean Croshan of Tree Lafayette requested a short closure of Crown Lane for the Arbor Day event on Saturday morning, May 3; staff said the closure would be roughly a half-block and would not block resident driveway access. The council approved the special-event request by voice vote.
Margie Devorell, a volunteer with Pride Lafayette and Outfest, presented the application for the 17th annual Outfest scheduled Saturday, Aug. 16 from 8 a.m. to midnight. Devorell said organizers had circulated good-neighbor letters and would complete A&E and beer-and-wine permitting steps; Outfest’s executive director Derek Jones was introduced and present as the event lead. The council approved the event application; staff will complete required permits such as the beer-and-wine permit and any public-safety coordination with the police chief as necessary.
Both event approvals were moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.
