Council asks staff to explore World Cup screening options at Boardwalk and parks
Summary
Council members asked staff to investigate whether the city could host public FIFA (World Cup) screenings at municipal parks or the Boardwalk, and to review permitting, logistics and staffing before committing to programming.
Several council members raised the possibility of hosting public World Cup (FIFA) viewing events at public venues, asking staff to look into logistics and the impact on existing programming. "Can we explore it? We get consensus to explore it more?" one council member asked, prompting staff to confirm the special‑events process and coordination with public safety, vendors and permits.
Staff said private organizations may apply under the city's special‑events process and that City teams would coordinate with police, fire and maintenance to ensure safety. Council gave general support for proceeding with planning and asked staff to revisit the calendar if large regional events require adjustments.
