Council allows Medford Community in Action to host skates/hoverboard events at Civic Center

During the Jan. 8 meeting the council discussed whether to allow events that include skates, rollerblades, hoverboards and scooters in the Civic Center. Mayor Gary Bowen moved to permit the Medford Community in Action Civic Group to host the listed events; Vice‑Mayor Steve Zeman seconded. The motion passed with all councilmembers voting in favor.

The minutes record the approval for that named civic group only; they do not list a facility use policy change, insurance requirements, or a broader rule change for other groups. Any detailed facility rental conditions or operational requirements were not recorded in the minutes.
