Commission approves reservation for Gifts & Goodies Boutique; staff cites 91 vendors and shared parking plan
Summary
The commission approved the Mission Viejo Activities Committee’s request to reserve the Norman P. Murray Community Center for the Gifts & Goodies Boutique on Nov. 21, 2026 (8 a.m.–4 p.m.), which staff said would feature 91 vendors and could use Newhart Middle School parking; the vote passed 4–0 with two abstentions after recusal.
Staff presented the Activities Committee’s request to reserve the entire Norman P. Murray Community Center on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2026, for the annual Gifts & Goodies Boutique and said the group would set up beginning the Friday before as rooms become available. The presenter said the event is expected to attract approximately 2,500 attendees and will feature 91 vendors; staff noted the event has used the Newhart Middle School parking lot in prior years and has a permit for that use.
Commissioners moved and approved the reservation; the action passed with four votes in favor and two abstentions, consistent with the earlier recusal of two commissioners who serve on the activities committee. Staff placed a tentative hold on the facility pending final confirmation of logistics.
