Council narrows tree-lighting and holiday party timing; discusses avoiding ward conflicts
Summary
Council members debated dates for the annual tree-lighting and the town Christmas party, favoring earlier December dates to avoid conflicts with ward parties and school schedules.
Cleveland Town Council members discussed dates for the annual tree-lighting and the town Christmas party and expressed a preference for holding the tree-lighting in late November or early December and scheduling the town Christmas party earlier in December.
Speaker 1 suggested avoiding the first week in December because "the wards rotate" their parties and "you'll lose part of it." The group discussed November 29 and December 12 as possible tree-lighting dates; Speaker 1 observed, "So we need to look at the November 29. So what about the November 28?"
On the town Christmas party, councilors favored a date earlier in December to avoid clashes with school schedules and family events. Speaker 2 said, "I'm thinking the twelfth through the thirteenth," and Speaker 1 later noted December 19 falls near the end of school. The council discussed logistics including catering and whether to secure a caterer now to hold the date. Speaker 1 said, "What I'm going to do is call them and say, hey. Can you schedule me for this Perfect. Date?"
No formal action or vote on specific dates was recorded in the transcript; members asked staff to confirm availability with vendors and to publicize the chosen dates once finalized.
