Council approves special-event permit and waives fee for high school 'Color Run' fundraiser
Summary
City council granted conditional approval for a March 14 color-run fundraiser organized by high school staff and students, waived the $25 permit fee and asked organizers to submit a completed special-event application for department clearance.
High-school staff and students asked the council for permission to hold a color-run fundraiser on March 14 using the cross-country course and Davies Amphitheater for check-in and spectator seating.
Charles Hman (high-school English teacher and yearbook adviser) and student organizers described event logistics: an 8 a.m. start with 7:30 a.m. check-in, a family-friendly course that winds downhill, volunteers from the yearbook program and esports team, non-toxic colored powder, water stations and a $25 registration fee to fund yearbook equipment and student awards.
Council asked organizers to file a special-event application with Teresa at City Hall and to obtain department sign-offs (fire, police, parks). Council moved and approved conditional permit approval on receipt of the completed application and voted to waive the $25 special-event fee for the school fundraiser.
Why it matters: The decision allows a school fundraising event to proceed with city sign-offs and reduces the applicant’s cost by waiving the permit fee.
What’s next: Organizers will submit the special-event application to City Hall; department heads will review the plan and issue approvals or conditions as needed.
