Council approves allocation for Fourth of July parade security
Summary
The council approved Resolution No. 1881 to allocate $15,000 for Fourth of July parade security, dividing the amount into barriers, overtime for city staff and support for the Chamber of Commerce to hire security/event staffing.
The Enumclaw City Council voted to approve Resolution No. 1881 on June 22, which authorizes the mayor to execute an amendment to the provision-of-service agreement with the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce to provide additional funding for Fourth of July parade security.
Parks Director (introduced in the transcript as Lina Hicks) explained that the $15,000 was previously authorized by council and that Resolution 1881 allocates that amount as follows: $8,500 for barriers lining the parade route, $2,500 for overtime to cover six additional city staff, and $4,000 allocated to the Chamber for hiring security and event staffing. "The funds have already been authorized by council. This would just kind of break it up, of how we're going to spend it," the parks director said.
Council moved and seconded the resolution and approved it by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript. The parade and a commemorative flagpole event are scheduled for July 4, with the parade at noon downtown Cole Street.
