Libby council approves street closures for community events
Summary
The council approved street closures for the Red, White and Brews block party (April 5) and the Igniter's Car Club show (Aug. 15–16), requiring insurance, trash removal, and use of city barricades; both motions passed by voice vote.
The Libby City Council approved two requests for temporary street closures and related conditions for community events.
Council approved a closure of Mineral Avenue from 2nd to 6th Street for the Red, White and Brews block party on April 5 (8 a.m.–9 p.m.). Cindy (speaker 12), representing the event, said organizers have insurance, porta‑potties and have invited businesses along the route to participate. Council required organizers to provide insurance, manage trash and place city barricades; a petition in support of the event was noted. Council member (speaker 3) moved to approve the closure; the motion carried by voice vote.
Separately, the Igniter's Car Club’s request for an Aug. 15–16 closure and a noise variance was approved. The club outlined a Friday evening bridal night and a Saturday car show; the club confirmed it would provide insurance and handle garbage. The council approved the closure and the noise variance after a motion and second, and the motion carried by voice vote.
Both approvals included the council’s standard conditions for street closures: proof of insurance, responsibility for trash removal, and placement/return of barricades by organizers. The council recorded the approvals by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
