Council refers 2nd Baptist Church street‑closure request for Nov. 1 fall festival to Public Works and Public Safety
Summary
A resident request to close Church Street in front of Second Baptist Church for a Nov. 1 fall festival was read into the record and referred to Public Works and Public Safety for review, per council motion.
Council received a request from resident Kimberly Smith to close Church Street in front of Second Baptist Church on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for the First Ward fall festival and referred the request to Public Works and Public Safety for review.
The chair described the event as an annual, well‑attended and well‑organized neighborhood festival and asked for council comments; Councilor Maflahi moved to refer the request to the two departments and Anderson seconded. The referral motion carried on a 5–0 vote. The transcript does not record any discussion of specific traffic-control details, permit fees, or public-safety conditions; staff will review the request and report back as part of the departmental referral process.
The record indicates the event organizers will coordinate cleanup and take responsibility for post‑event restoration, as described in the request read into the record.
