Board OKs Traffic Assistance for Harvest Event; Park Board Approved Trail Use

The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a request on Sept. 2 for city assistance at street crossings for the annual harvest event. Fire Chief Josh Snyder told the board the event includes a 3-mile route and a 1-mile route, and that "we will be down there for EMS coverage of it." Snyder said he had coordinated with other chiefs and that no trail closure is needed for the event; the transcript notes the park board approved the trail portion at its recent meeting. A board member moved and the board approved the request by voice vote. The record shows the event organizers will provide EMS coverage and city staff will assist with some street crossings; no street closures or additional city resources were detailed in the meeting record.
