Council approves amendment to add annual parade to approved- parade rotation; staff to return with formal policy revision
Summary
City council approved a single amendment to add a recurring parade into the city's rotation of approved events and instructed staff to present a formal revision to the parade policy at a future meeting.
The council voted to approve a single amendment to the city's parade approvals and directed staff to draft a formal policy revision adding the new annual parade to the rotation of approved events.
Councilmember (unnamed) moved and a second was recorded; the council voted in favor and the motion carried. Councilmember (unnamed) then said, "I would instruct staff to come back, in a future date with, a policy revision so that we can add this into that rotation of the approved parades." The council did not specify an exact effective date in the meeting record.
The amendment discussion noted flexibility around the parade date. One speaker observed the event could fall on or near Juneteenth and said the date could be the Saturday before or after depending on conflicts. The council did not adopt precise scheduling rules at the session; instead members approved the principle of adding the parade to the rotation and asked staff to prepare a formal written policy amendment.
The council did not provide a final written policy during the session; the action was limited to approving the amendment on the floor and asking staff to return with a draft revision for future consideration. The council did not identify specific permit fees, enforcement procedures or start/end dates during the motion.
A follow-up staff report and a draft policy amendment are expected to appear on a future agenda for formal adoption.
