Summary
Life University requested an annual closure of Barclays Circle at South Cobb Drive for its Lights of Life display from Nov. 28 through Dec. 31; council approved the closure, with off‑duty law enforcement for traffic control and signage posted seven days in advance.
Life University representatives asked the council to authorize closure of Barclays Circle at South Cobb Drive to host the annual Lights of Life display. Dr. Mark Schneider and staff described the proposed schedule: Nov. 28–Dec. 31, Sunday–Thursday 5:30–9:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 5:30–10:00 p.m. Staff said off‑duty officers will provide traffic control and that signage announcing the closure will be posted at least seven days before the event.

A motion to approve the closure was moved and carried unanimously at the work session; the item will be included on the regular meeting consent agenda for formal approval.
Dr. Schneider attended the meeting and answered council questions about logistics and prior year's operations.
