Council tables Chamber request to close Maple Street for July barbecue until organizer can attend
Summary
Council reviewed a Chamber of Commerce request to close Maple Street for a July 11 barbecue but tabled action after members raised parking and access concerns; the item was postponed so the organizer can present a plan.
Council members discussed a request from James Fernandez of the Chamber of Commerce to close Maple Street (between Highway 16 and 14th Street) on July 11 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Concerns focused on vehicles parking on both sides of Maple creating unsafe conditions and limiting access to a nearby RV park. One council member suggested moving the event to the city park; another asked that the organizer present a clear plan before the council decides.
A motion to consider the Chamber's request was made, withdrawn, and then a council member moved to table the item until the Chamber could be present to explain the logistics. The council voted to table the request to the next agenda, with "all 5 in favor, none opposed."
