Mayor Carmack credits volunteers after busy July events, says downtown drew about 1,000 visitors
Summary
Mayor Scott Carmack reported the Fourth of July and a second-annual 3-on-3 event doubled participation and brought roughly 1,000 visitors to historic downtown; he thanked volunteers and staff who assisted with event logistics and safety.
Mayor Scott Carmack used his report during the July 7 study session to highlight recent community events. He praised city staff and volunteers for establishing a supervised fireworks viewing area and thanked "Officer Garent, Diane and Chief Kulhavy from the Volunteer Fire Department, and City Administrator Michael Grayum" for volunteering at the event. Mayor Carmack said the two-day 3-on-3 tournament doubled participation and "resulted in approximately 1000 people visiting our historic downtown."
The mayor also thanked Armando and Brandie Valadez for partnering with the city to host the second annual 3-on-3 event and described logistical lessons learned (including a volunteer effort described as a "poo-patrol" to relocate porta-potties when vendor-supplied units did not arrive). No formal council action was associated with the mayor's report; these items were presented as informational updates.
