Commission approves temporary Main Street closure for 20th-anniversary consignment celebration
Summary
The commission approved a request to temporarily close parts of Main Street on July 11 for Little Consignment's 20-year celebration, authorizing no-parking signs, barricades and vendor hookups pending proper permits and licenses.
The Chanute City Commission on June 22 approved a temporary Main Street closure to allow a downtown consignment store to hold a 20-year celebration on July 11.
Staff read the request into the record, noting the closure would run approximately 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with the celebration taking place 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and that vendors must obtain proper city licensing and coordinate with the parks department for trash and tables. The agenda identified the request as coming from Amy Sehorn, owner of the store.
An applicant at the meeting described coordination with local businesses on Main Street and said they would give downtown shops priority for outdoor space. The commission moved, seconded and approved the request by voice vote, with staff advising the applicant to coordinate vendor lists and permits with community development and parks staff.
The permit approval included direction that vendors obtain required licensing and that the event sponsor contact the parks department for utilities and trash cans.
