Committee refers request to close Rechad and Batelt streets for Aug. 29 private party to the board

The Protective Services Committee recorded a motion on July 15, 2026 to refer a request to close Rechad Street and Batelt Street for a private party scheduled for Aug. 29, 2026 to the full board for consideration.

The committee minutes, read by the clerk, note the street-closure request and state that a motion was made to move the item "to the board." The minutes do not include a roll-call tally or explicit vote outcome for that referral; they also describe the item as involving a closure "via the Sile Ban" as recorded in the minutes. The clerk’s entry does not specify who moved or seconded that particular referral motion.

Other matters in the short meeting included a recorded motion to accept the agenda "as presented" (motion recorded in the minutes as moved by Helson and seconded by Hoffare; the minutes do not show a vote tally for that motion), notation that the police chief was absent and therefore no police report was presented, and a notation that Fire Board items were nil. The minutes also state an operatory item was tabled and note returned checks related to barber/cler licensing matters; descriptions in the minutes are terse and lack further detail.

A motion to adjourn was recorded at the end of the minutes (moved by Hoffra, seconded by Melson), followed by the entry "Approved," indicating the meeting was closed. The minutes do not list further deadlines or the next meeting date.

The referral for the Aug. 29 private-party street closures will next be considered by the full board; the minutes do not state when the board will take up the matter or whether staff provided a traffic-control plan, notice to neighbors, or details about liability/permit conditions.
