Summary
Tipton City’s Board of Public Safety approved a request from Jack Moran’s Car Club to stage a three-hour Salvation Army bucket drive on Dec. 13, with volunteers, signage and safety vests; the group said it raised about $2,500 in three hours last year.
Speaker 3, representing Jack Moran’s Car Club, asked the Board of Public Safety for permission to occupy part of County Street for the club’s second annual Salvation Army bucket campaign on Saturday, Dec. 13. "Last year, we raised around $2,500 in 3 hours for Salvation Army," Speaker 3 said, and described safety measures the group will use, including warning signs, yellow vests and two people per post.
Board members asked about traffic control and whether additional city resources were needed. Speaker 3 said the group used the four‑way at Jefferson and Maine last year and does not expect to need extra support beyond volunteers and posted signs. Speaker 5 moved to approve the request and Speaker 2 seconded. Speaker 6 called the vote and members signified their approval; the motion passed.
The board’s approval allows the club to "play in traffic" for roughly three hours (approximately 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) as described by Speaker 3, provided organizers use the same safety setup as last year. The applicant said no incidents were reported last year when first responders passed through the area.
Next steps: organizers will coordinate final details with the city as requested. The board did not specify additional traffic-control measures beyond the applicant’s plan.
