City manager to clear car‑show dates at Veterans Park after commissioners raise no objection
Summary
Two car‑show requests for Veterans Park were presented; because the commission raised no objection, City Manager Burt Johnson was authorized by consensus to approve the events rather than the commission voting on them at the meeting.
At the Dec. 7 meeting, representatives of the Soddy‑Daisy Cruizers asked to hold two car shows at Veterans Park on the second Saturdays in April and September; another requester asked specifically about April 20. City Attorney Elliott explained a legislative requirement—mentioned during the meeting—that items to be voted on by the commission must be published on the agenda at least 48 hours in advance, so the board could not place the matter to a formal vote that night. The commissioners raised no objection, and the consensus allowed City Manager Burt Johnson to authorize the park uses without a formal commission vote.
Why it matters: The arrangement allows event organizers to secure dates without a formal vote when the commission declines to object, but the parties noted the 48‑hour agenda requirement for any future formal vote.
The city will confirm dates and logistics through City Hall per staff direction.
