Commissioners approve courthouse use for Faith Family Fest on Sept. 27 with insurance condition
Summary
Organizers received approval to use courthouse grounds and restrooms for a Faith Family Fest on Sept. 27, provided the event supplies a certificate of insurance one week before the event and coordinates power and logistics with city utilities.
An organizer seeking to hold a Faith Family Fest on Sept. 27 asked to use the courthouse grounds, restroom access and a lawn landing for a PA system and music.
The board confirmed the county treats the courthouse grounds as public property and said restroom access and reasonable use would be granted, but that event organizers must provide a certificate of insurance at least one week before Sept. 27. Commissioners also noted that the city’s power is typically used for events on the courthouse lawn and asked the group to coordinate signage and electrical needs with city staff.
The board approved the request and opened courthouse restrooms between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for the event. The motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: The approval clarifies access and liability requirements for a public festival and puts conditions in place that protect county property and outline event responsibilities.
What’s next: Organizers must provide the county with a certificate of insurance by the week before Sept. 27 and coordinate final logistics with city staff.
