Council approves $15,000 allocation split for July 4 parade security
Summary
Council approved Resolution 1,881 to authorize the mayor to execute an amendment to the Chamber of Commerce service agreement using $15,000 previously authorized: $8,500 for parade barriers, $2,500 for overtime, and $4,000 to the chamber for security and event staffing.
At its June 22 meeting, the Enumclaw City Council approved Resolution 1,881, authorizing the mayor to sign an amendment to the provision-of-service agreement with the Chamber of Commerce to provide additional funding for July 4 parade security.
Parks Director Lina Hicks told council the resolution would allocate $15,000 previously authorized by council: $8,500 to buy parade barriers to line the route, $2,500 for overtime compensation for six additional city staff to help man the parade, and $4,000 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,” Hicks said, and staff recommended approval.
Why it matters: The funding specifies how previously approved funds will be distributed to cover barriers, staff overtime and contracted chamber services so the city can staff and secure the July 4 parade route.
What happened next: Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote during the meeting’s General Business, and later adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
Context: The allocation is part of the city’s routine event support and follows prior council authorization of the funding; staff provided the breakdown and requested formal authorization to execute the agreement amendment.
