Pleasant Hill council approves special filming request for downtown parking spaces

The Pleasant Hill City Council approved a special request application Sept. 21 allowing a production company to use several downtown parking areas for filming. City staff described the request as seeking use of the Western Auto Lot, the Second Street parking lot and potentially portions of the Hill Complex lot, with temporary closure of parking spaces "from Wing Hill Wine to Mural Park." A staff member said the work would be "for the dates of Monday the 28th through Friday the 2nd for the filming of a TV show."

Council members moved and seconded the motion to approve the application; the transcript does not name the mover or the seconder. Before the vote, council members clarified that the request would not close the street and would only use parking spaces, not shut down other businesses. Staff reported that Wing Hill and Noggins submitted written approvals and that Mr. Eagleburger, owner of an adjacent lot, was expected to provide written consent.

The council took a roll call vote and recorded "Yes" votes from Councilman Dyer, Councilman Dumer, Councilman Patterson and Councilman Elliott; the mayor announced the special request had passed. No members of the public spoke on the item during the meeting. The council then moved to adjourn the special meeting and took a brief intermission to prepare for a subsequent work session.
