Pebble Creek street‑closure application withdrawn after applicant cites fees; city urges safety measures
Summary
An application to close streets in the Pebble Creek neighborhood for Oct. 31 was withdrawn after the applicant said required insurance, barricade and extra-duty police fees made the event unaffordable; police and council discussed safety reminders for Halloween.
An application to close Pebble Creek neighborhood streets for Oct. 31 was withdrawn after staff told the applicant about required special-event fees, barricade costs and extra-duty police coverage, and the applicant said the total expense was unaffordable.
Staff described the fee schedule: a $100 special-event application fee, a barricade fee (example shown at $50 for four barricades in the staff schedule), and extra-duty police costs administered through a third-party coordinator. Staff also reminded applicants that proof of liability insurance is required for street closures.
Chief Miles told council the city arranges extra staffing for the larger neighborhood closures and recommended that residents and visitors exercise care on Halloween — slow driving, reflective clothing for children and heightened attention. Because the application was withdrawn, no council action was necessary.
The transcript records staff explaining the withdrawal and council and police emphasizing public-safety practices for trick-or-treaters and drivers.
