Council approves $15,000 allocation for July 4 parade security
Summary
Council approved Resolution 1881 to allocate a previously authorized $15,000 across parade barriers, overtime for additional city staff, and Chamber security staffing to support the July 4 parade and a flagpole dedication event.
The council voted to approve Resolution 1881 on June 22, authorizing Amendment 1 to the Chamber of Commerce provision-of-service agreement to provide additional funding for security at the July 4 parade and related events.
Parks Director Lina Hicks explained the spending breakdown for the $15,000 previously authorized: $8,500 to purchase barriers to line the parade route, $2,500 for overtime to compensate six additional city staff, and $4,000 to the Chamber for hiring security and event staffing. Hicks said the funds had already been authorized by council in a prior meeting and the resolution simply formalized the allocation by line item.
A councilmember moved to approve the resolution and the motion was seconded; the resolution passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: the resolution enables specific security and staffing measures for an upcoming large public event (the July 4 parade and commemorative flagpole dedication), allocating funds across barriers, city staff overtime and Chamber staffing to support crowd control and safety.
