Committee confirms parade lineup priorities; fire and county vehicles to lead route
Summary
Committee members agreed the county vehicle typically leads the parade followed by local fire departments, discussed key intersection coverage and plans to separate animals from loud attractions; staff emphasized radio communications for marshals.
Committee members discussed parade logistics, lineup and safety measures for the July 4 celebration.
Staff member (Speaker 3) said the county car usually leads the parade and that fire trucks follow, noting that the order helps keep a clear route if an emergency occurs. “Usually a county will lead off the car, will lead off the parade, be the 1st vehicle, then the fire trucks all come right behind it,” Staff member (Speaker 3) said.
The committee debated placement of animals and loud entries and agreed to coordinate with the county police and multiple fire departments to staff key intersections. Members also agreed to use the villages handheld radios for marshals and parking staff to enable on-the-ground communications and safer parade direction.
Next steps: staff will contact the relevant fire departments and the county for parade coordination, finalize lineup instructions and provide radios to marshals on parade day.
