Brentwood Recreation staff reported they have secured the permit needed to close roads for the towns Fourth of July parade and launched a registration process requiring participants to register a month in advance; day-of registrations will not be accepted.
Staff discussed vendor logistics, including likely reliance on portable toilets and vendor-provided power (generators) or running power lines in coordination with the school. Lindy's owner Lisa Dow confirmed she is likely to provide pizza sales at the event. Staff said Kona Ice is confirmed as a vendor and that they are pursuing a dunk tank contact previously used for National Night Out; the dunk tank arrangement will depend on availability of rental contacts tied to the police department.
Commissioners discussed sponsorship tiers, on-site sponsor recognition (signs, program mentions), outreach to bands and youth groups for parade participation, and new rules for earlier registration and planning to accommodate larger turnout for the town's milestone celebration. Staff asked that registrants complete their entries in advance to help planning and logistics.
