Public Safety Committee approves Holly's Heart and Soul Family Fun Run permit, asks for map clarification

The Public Safety Committee voted unanimously to recommend a special-event permit for the Holly's Heart and Soul Family Fun Run, an annual community run planned for July. A presenter described the event as recurring and said the police department had reviewed the route and "they've had no issues," before a motion to approve was moved and seconded.

Committee members pressed for a clearer map showing whether the 5K or 10K route would be used and how color coding relates to walk, 5K and 10K options; the chair requested that staff provide clarification before council consideration. A staff member noted the selected route is resource-intensive and estimated it would require about six officers working four hours of overtime, which the staff member said would cost "over $1,300" in pay. The permit motion passed on a roll call vote with all members present voting in favor.
