Board approves block closure for surprise 60th birthday on Aug. 29
Summary
Rebecca Baker asked to close East Fifth Street from Ash to Lee on Aug. 29 for a surprise 60th birthday party; the board approved a closure from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. after discussing emergency access and barricade procedures.
Rebecca Baker told the board she requested a partial closure of East Fifth Street from Ash Street to Lee Street on Saturday, Aug. 29, to hold a surprise 60th birthday party for her husband. She described plans for a small band, a jumpy house for children and food, and said neighbors had provided signatures of support.
Baker said she requested the block closed from 4 to 10 p.m. but board members and Chief Feller discussed emergency access and the preferred start time; the motion approved the closure from 3:00 to 10:00 p.m. Chief Feller noted a concern about late hours, saying, "It might wrap up a little earlier because I go to bed about 8:30." The board confirmed a waiver was on file and agreed staff could provide barricades for the event.
The board moved and seconded the closure and voted in favor. Staff and the applicant were directed to leave one clear lane for emergency vehicles and to have someone on hand to move barricades if necessary.
