Council approves $15,000 allocation for July 4 parade security and staffing
Summary
The council approved Resolution 18-81 June 22 to allocate $15,000 previously authorized for July 4 parade security: $8,500 for route barriers, $2,500 for overtime for six additional city staff, and $4,000 to the Chamber of Commerce for security and event staffing.
The Enumclaw City Council approved Resolution 18-81 at its June 22 meeting to authorize the mayor to execute an amendment to the service agreement with the Chamber of Commerce, allocating funds for July 4 parade security and staffing.
Parks Director Lina Hicks described the proposed breakdown for the $15,000 previously authorized by council: $8,500 would cover barriers lining the parade route, $2,500 would pay overtime for six additional city staff, and $4,000 would be allocated to the Chamber for hiring security and event staff. “The funds have already been authorized by council. This would just kind of break it up of how we're going to spend it,” she said, and staff recommended approval.
A motion to approve Resolution 18-81 was made, seconded, and passed by voice vote; the transcript records that the resolution passed but does not include a roll-call tally.
Why it matters: the allocation funds public-safety and logistical support for a high-attendance community event and clarifies how previously authorized funds will be spent.
Next steps: the mayor is authorized to execute the amendment to the Chamber of Commerce provision-of-service agreement to effect the allocations.
