Hoyt council approves Miracle on Fourth Street street closure, allows RVHS Booster Club use and pays half of tractor-pull porta-potty bill
Summary
Council approved Pride of Hoyt’s Miracle on Fourth Street event for Dec. 8, authorizing a street closure, use of city facilities and trash cans; it also allowed the RVHS Booster Club to use the community building in February and agreed to pay $358.50 toward tractor-pull portable toilets.
At its Nov. 5 meeting, the Hoyt City Council approved permits and logistical support for multiple community events.
Representatives Esther Cumpton and Lisa Beam of Pride of Hoyt requested permission for Miracle on Fourth Street on Dec. 8, 2024, including a street closure (Fourth Street from Highland to Annetta, 3:30–6:30 p.m.), use of the city building for Santa letters, placement of trash cans for food waste, and community building space for a Christmas craft show. Council member Joe Romans moved to approve the requests as presented; Larry Valdez seconded and the motion carried.
Separately, the RVHS Booster Club requested free use of the community building for a February fundraising event. Debbie Dreasher moved to grant the request at no cost provided the date does not conflict with existing reservations; Joe Romans seconded and the motion carried.
During public comment, Dwayne Hug asked whether the city would contribute toward portable-toilet costs from a summer tractor-pull event. The invoice totaled $717.54; council agreed to pay half ($358.50) to Honey Do’s. Chance Hug raised the possibility of installing permanent lights for future events and indicated organizers would return to a future meeting with details.
The council also approved reflective signage and a “No Thru Access” sign to address vehicles turning around at the dead-end on E Eighth after a request from resident Jason Fulkerson.
What happens next: Event organizers may proceed with the approved uses and street closure; organizers should follow any additional permitting steps required by city staff. The discussion of permanent lights for outdoor events was deferred to a future meeting.
