Committee schedules ‘Movie in the Park’ for October, plans pilot food‑truck Saturday

North College Hill’s CCDR committee agreed during its meeting to schedule a community "Movie in the Park" in October and to pilot food trucks on a Saturday alongside the screening.

The chair opened discussion about timing and community preferences; Miss Gaskins proposed early October dates and members debated Oct. 4, Oct. 11 and later options before coalescing around an October date to be confirmed by staff. Administration staff noted that newsletter materials must be delivered to Lataya by 2:00 p.m. tomorrow for the Sept. 23 mailing so residents would receive notice in time.

Council members raised basic logistics: the screening should start around sunset (roughly 7:30–8:00 p.m.), the film must be PG for newsletter inclusion, and the committee discussed whether to project from a building façade or bring a screen. The committee agreed to use the parking lot adjacent to the city facility if permission is granted and to open the building for restroom access. The chair said she has a screen available and referenced additional equipment held by Mayor Nichols.

On concessions, Miss Gaskins and other members proposed free popcorn and drinks for attendees while inviting food trucks to pilot Saturday service to increase variety and the event’s draw. Members asked recreation staff to coordinate food‑truck logistics and to check emergency vehicle access and parking; staff said they would confirm with neighboring property managers and the dialysis center about overflow parking.

The committee directed members to communicate by email to finalize the site and to meet the newsletter flyer deadline. Staff said they would circulate the final date and location after confirming venue availability.

The committee’s next steps are to confirm the date and location with site managers, submit flyer copy by the newsletter deadline, and coordinate security, restroom access and food‑truck permits as needed.
