Lebanon City board approves Smith Street closure for St. Patrick’s Day event

Lebanon City’s board voted to approve a street‑closure request for a St. Patrick’s Day event on Smith Street, authorizing the one‑block closure in front of 100 Smith Street (the applicant identified the business as Boone County Junction). The applicant, who identified himself as John Lasley, said the event would start about 8:30 a.m. and run through 11:59 p.m. on March 14, and that he had discussed required controls with a state excise representative.

The board approved the closure after a motion to "approve as presented," a second and a vocal 'aye' from the members present. The motion record in the transcript does not list an individual mover or a roll‑call tally; no opposing votes were recorded. The applicant told the board he had spoken with "Mister Gillum with the state excise" about outside blocking and permitting requirements.

Votes at a glance: - Smith Street closure (100 Smith Street / Boone County Junction) — Approved (motion recorded; transcript shows a unanimous 'aye' vote; individual tallies not recorded). - Claims approval — Approved (motion and second recorded; individual tallies not recorded).

The board did not record detailed vote tallies or name the member who moved the street closure in the portion of the transcript provided. The board set no additional conditions on the closure in the audible record; the applicant stated he would follow the state excise requirements discussed with the excise representative.

The board adjourned following approval of claims and announcement of its next meeting on Monday, March 9 at 5:30 p.m.
