Curtis Cunningham seeks Henry Street closure for Sept. 26 chili cook-off; park repaint and sealcoating discussed
Summary
Curtis Cunningham requested permission to close Henry Street on Sept. 26 for the 25th annual chili cook-off and pie auction; council also discussed park repainting, a $5,000+ sealcoating quote (with ~$2,000 upfront), and forming a park board to support volunteer maintenance.
Curtis Cunningham identified himself and asked the council for permission to close Henry Street on Sept. 26 for the organization's 25th annual chili cook-off and pie auction; the council indicated prior closures had been allowed and members agreed to the request. Cunningham also reported plans to replace remaining windows on Henry Street and described the event schedule through December, including a Dec. 1 Christmas walk.
Council then considered park maintenance requests from a participant who described scraping and repainting the gazebo and playground metal and provided a sealcoating estimate of about $5,000 with roughly $2,000 required up front. Members discussed seeking local vendor quotes, checking Menards pricing, and recruiting volunteers or additional park-board members; a member suggested researching park-board ordinances and returning next month with recommendations.
