Cedar Hill manager previews summer events, drone demo and Juneteenth logistics
Summary
City Manager reviewed several upcoming community events — Big Machines Expo, a police flock drone demo described as a roughly $70,000 grant, Women Veterans Day and Juneteenth — and reminded council of photo and workshop dates.
The city manager briefed council on a slate of summer events and demonstrations that staff said are intended to engage residents and showcase city services.
"We bring all of our city, big machines out to Valley Ridge and kids get to climb over it," the city manager said, describing the Big Machines Expo at Valley Ridge Park. The manager also noted a police 'flock drone' first-responder demo at the Grady Lamb building supported by a grant (described in the briefing as about a $70,000 piece of equipment).
The manager highlighted a Women Veterans Day event at the Traffin Hickman Library (June 11, community celebration June 12) and a Juneteenth celebration at Community Park on June 13, including VIP logistics and stage timing for elected officials. Staff also flagged a UDC open house, a council photo day and the city’s participation in the North Central Texas Council of Governments assembly.
Council members asked clarification questions about event timing and performers; staff confirmed logistics and urged council participation at several events.
