Council approves school 5K fee waiver and a tentative April street closure for a bike-and-car show
Summary
Edgewater council approved multiple community event requests: a waiver of the Indian River Elementary 5K application fee (date corrected to March 29), permission for Burns Science & Technology Charter School to use a park volleyball court, and a tentative April 12 closure for a Godfather Custom Cycles block party and car/bike show; the applicant said sponsorship will cover event costs.
Council approved several event requests during the Jan. 13 meeting. Indian River Elementary asked the council to waive a $100 special-activity application fee for a school 5K; Theresa Cameron for the school clarified the event date was changed to March 29 and thanked council for support. Council voted to waive the fee and confirmed event logistics.
The Burns Science & Technology Charter School requested use of the Whistle Stop Park volleyball court for practices; staff said insurance would be verified and council approved the reservation. James Lynch, owner of Godfather Custom Cycles, described plans for a block party with vendors and a car/bike show and said sponsorships will offset city costs. "We're looking more like April 12 would be the date that I'm looking at as far as my calendar is concerned," Lynch said; council approved a tentative closure of East Park Avenue with the applicant covering officer detail and garbage costs as needed.
