Council approves 'Faith Addiction Awareness' 5K run in Monroe on Aug. 23, 2025
Summary
The Common Council approved a Public Safety Committee resolution allowing Faith Addiction Awareness of Greene County to hold a 5K on Aug. 23, 2025, routing it via 4th Street and 22nd Avenue and directing police to provide traffic control and overtime; insurance and permits are required.
The Monroe Common Council unanimously approved a resolution on Aug. 4 authorizing Faith Addiction Awareness of Greene County to hold a 5K run/walk fundraiser on Aug. 23, 2025.
The resolution, read into the record by a council member (S10), specified that the event will "begin and end at 4th Street and 22nd Avenue and [travel] over route approved by the police department." It directed the police department to provide traffic control and use overtime staff as needed and required a certificate of insurance indemnifying the city and any permits set by city code.
Why it matters: The approval formalizes public safety support for a community fundraising event and assigns responsibility for traffic control and permitting to the police department, which may incur overtime costs.
Next steps: Event organizers must submit required permits and insurance before the event; police will implement the approved traffic-control plan on the day of the run.
