Oscar Robles asks council to approve Mercer Street closure for Miranchitoanniversary
Summary
Restaurant owner and community member Oscar Robles asked the council to allow Mercer Street to be closed for Miranchitorestaurant's 25th-anniversary event this June and was advised to submit a facilities-use request for formal review and vote.
Oscar Robles told the council he and his wife want to hold a 25th-anniversary celebration for Miranchito and asked for permission to close Mercer Street for a daytime-to-evening festival. "Miranchito is one of the oldest restaurant[s] in town," Robles said, proposing June 21 or the 28th (he noted the 28th is a Saturday) and suggesting a closure roughly from 1:00 p.m. until 8:30 or 9:00 p.m.
Council staff and members explained the process Robles must follow before a street closure is approved. Councilor Scott Stuttler advised Robles to file a facilities-use request with the town so the event and closure can be reviewed, and a committee review (finance) will occur before the council takes a formal vote. "You'll have to get a facilities-use request for closing this street down," Stuttler said. The council indicated past similar events had been approved when the formal request was completed.
