Public Safety Committee approves Monroe High homecoming parade and Huber Block Run permits

The Public Safety Committee voted to approve special-event permits for the Monroe High School homecoming parade and the Greene County House’s Huber Block Run during a brief meeting that also corrected a minutes error and adjourned shortly afterward.

The chair called the meeting to order and introduced item C, noting the police department had presented the permit requests for the two events. A police department representative said the applications were “generally the same type of…special events that happened in the past” and that the department had worked through recommendations with Huber Block Run organizers, adding that “all that should be pretty straightforward and good to go.”

Committee members clarified that the Huber Block Run route would cover about three blocks; no further concerns were raised. The chair then asked for a motion to approve both permits. After a motion and a second (not specified in the transcript), the clerk called the roll. Alder Holman, Alder Wharton Wyler and Alder Schaffer were recorded as voting “aye.” The chair stated the motion carried, approving the Monroe High School homecoming parade and the Greene County House Huber Block Run permits.

The meeting also included a brief correction to the minutes — a committee member noted a previous vote listing error and said they would correct it — then moved to adjourn. The chair closed the meeting at 05:15.

What happens next: The permits were approved on the committee level at this session; the transcript does not specify implementation steps or additional approvals that may be required.
