Summary

Council approved special-event permits for Main Street Monroe's farmers market (May–October) and the spring Wine Walk; a council member questioned the temporary no-parking hours listed (6AM–4:30PM) as excessive given shorter event hours.

The council considered a public-safety committee resolution approving special-event permits: Main Street Monroe's outdoor farmers market season (05/03/2025 through 10/29/2025) and the spring Wine Walk on 04/25/2025. The resolution enumerated dates, locations and temporary no-parking areas tied to event operations.

A council member raised a procedural and community-impact question about the listed temporary no-parking window of 6 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., noting that the farmers market operates roughly 12–3 with additional hours for set-up and tear-down and that signage is placed earlier in the day. Another member responded that the extended hours reflected past practice. After brief discussion the council approved the resolution by roll call.
