Commission approves America's Freedom Festival street‑use agreement for First South parade
Summary
Commissioners approved a new agreement allowing part of First South to be opened during Freedom Days for parade and limited carnival activities; America's Freedom Festival provided a map and staff confirmed the revised agreement was on the agenda.
The Utah County Commission voted to approve a new agreement with America’s Freedom Festival that will allow use of part of First South for the Freedom Days parade and limited carnival activities.
Rebecca Metcalfe, representing America's Freedom Festival, said the group submitted a new agreement request to open a portion of First South so the north side of the first block heading east could remain open while the parade and some bounce‑house activities occur. Metcalfe said the festival originally submitted an agreement that did not anticipate a carnival this year but that plans changed.
Staff confirmed the updated agreement and an accompanying map had been uploaded to the agenda packet. Speaker 2 moved to pass item 17 and Speaker 1 seconded; the motion passed 2–0.
The approved agreement is a standalone replacement of the prior document, according to staff, and will be the version on file for the festival's road‑use during Freedom Days. Metcalfe thanked the commission; county staff indicated standard permitting and operational details would be handled in follow‑up coordination with festival organizers.
