Council approves $15,000 amendment to Chamber agreement for July 4 parade security
Summary
The council approved Resolution No. 1881 to allocate $15,000 previously authorized for July 4 parade security: $8,500 for barriers, $2,500 for overtime for six additional city staff, and $4,000 to the Chamber of Commerce for security and event staffing.
The City Council approved Resolution No. 1881 authorizing the mayor to execute an amendment to the provision-of-service agreement with the Chamber of Commerce to fund July 4 parade security.
Parks Director Lina Hicks explained the amendment would authorize the use of $15,000 already approved by council and would allocate the funds as follows: $8,500 to cover barriers lining the parade route, $2,500 to provide overtime compensation for six additional city staff, and $4,000 to the Chamber of Commerce to hire security and event staff. Hicks said, “This would just kind of break it up, of how we're going to spend it,” and recommended approval.
Council moved, seconded and voted to approve the resolution on the June 22 agenda.
Why it matters: The funding break-down shows how the previously authorized amount will be applied to parade-site safety and staffing for the city's 250th America commemoration events on July 4. The resolution implements an allocation the council had already approved in concept.
What’s next: The parade and flagpole dedication are scheduled for July 4; staff will proceed with procurement and staffing arrangements under the amended agreement.
