Council permits Spook Alley event to run until 11 p.m.
Summary
A resident requested permission for a 'Spook Alley' event to run until 11 p.m. at the middle-school ballpark pavilion; the council consented, noting potential noise and complaint procedures.
Brunei City Council gave informal permission Sept. 19 for a Spook Alley event to run until 11 p.m. during an upcoming community Halloween program.
An event organizer told the council the Spook Alley and other Halloween activities — trunk-or-treat, games and a donut booth — will take place at the ballpark by the middle school and that the Spook Alley route will be inside the pavilion. The organizer asked for permission to run the Spook Alley until 11 p.m., which would extend past the city’s typical ordinance cutoff.
Council members consented, with staff noting that the event will generate noise and that the city would respond to any complaints. The organizer said props will include a chainsaw effect and that organizers understood the need to manage noise and neighborhood impacts.
The meeting record shows council consent but no formal ordinance waiver, permit number, additional conditions, or recorded vote. Staff and council members referenced the location as “North Dutch Springs” and the middle-school ballpark; no insurance, street-closure, or safety plan details were discussed in the meeting transcript.
Organizers were advised to proceed and to expect the city to field any complaints; the council did not set special conditions or require additional paperwork during the session.
