Council weighs parade staging options, school-zone signage and officer coverage
Summary
Council examined parade staging sites (behind the DUP building, school baseball field) and discussed school-zone signing and officer coverage for July 4; staff will inspect staging options and coordinate with the school and sheriff's office.
Council discussed where to stage the upcoming parade and how to manage traffic and pedestrian safety. Options included lining up behind the DUP building, using the high-school baseball field, or rerouting because State Road construction restricts some approaches. Members agreed to inspect the suggested staging areas and consult the school principal about access.
Separately, the council discussed school-zone speed signage and enforcement near the playground. One member noted blinking speed signs can cost approximately $30,000; the council discussed lower-cost alternatives and the Safe Routes program as a funding avenue. The sheriff's office said it will prioritize parade coverage where possible but noted staffing is widely distributed for July 4 events across the county.
