City staff told business owners that detailed maps showing perimeter fencing and checkpoints are not yet available because the event is a federal operation and security planning involves the Secret Service. Arminette Chapparian said the city will share maps when they are ready and meet individually with businesses that may be directly impacted.
"We are not ready to share that level of detail with you because this is considered a federal event, the Secret Service is very heavily involved in that planning effort," Chapparian said when asked about which streets and properties might be closed. Multiple business speakers raised concerns about customer access, operating continuity, and the possibility of temporary relocation if fencing affects storefront proximity to venues; one attendee asked, "What about us that's outside of the fence?"
Staff committed to follow-up meetings for businesses near venue sites and to coordinate on permit and temporary location logistics as maps are finalized.
