During the public-comment period at the March 23 City of Leeds council meeting, resident and event organizer Shandi White asked the council to provide $10,000 to help bring the Motors on Main event back to the city for the April–October 2026 season.
According to the minutes, White outlined the event proposal and the requested city contribution but the council did not take any formal action or record a response during the meeting. White and a companion identified as Vance also offered to install a metal fence around the downtown gazebo at no cost to the city; they said the fence would be removed temporarily while a sidewalk project is under way and reinstalled afterward.
The minutes record the request and offer but do not specify whether staff will evaluate the funding request, which department would manage such funds, or when the council might take up the item for consideration. No vote or follow-up motion is recorded in the meeting minutes.
Next steps stated in the minutes: none specified. The request remains pending and would require formal council action to allocate city funds.
