Council approves Jamboree facilities use and traffic plan for summer event
Summary
The council approved a facilities‑use application for the annual jamboree, confirming vendor layout, parking plans, and safety measures including barricades and limited lot grading; staff will coordinate permits and volunteers and prepare event logistics.
An organizer requested city parks and facility use for the summer jamboree; the council reviewed logistics and unanimously approved the application.
Councilors and the organizer discussed the event layout, moving vendor locations, grading the Mill Pond gravel lot for parking, and parking and barricade plans to improve pedestrian safety near crosswalks. Participants noted the event will include a lawnmower race, fishing derby and car show; staff said they had consulted with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife about whether a permit would be required for the derby and expected no permit would be necessary because prize levels are low.
The council moved and seconded the application and approved it by voice vote; staff said they will prepare printed copies of the event permit and coordinate volunteers and policing plans.
