Chamber seeks approval to decorate City Hall lawn for 'Christmas in Ballinger'

The Chamber asked the council for approval to place holiday decorations and lighting on the City Hall lawn and in Pioneer Plaza as part of a "Christmas in Ballinger" event tied to the parade and tree lighting. A council member described criteria for the lighting and said staff would need to check placement and power access: "The idea of it, if it goes through and they're able to do it with electricity and everything..." Council members suggested multiple possible locations around City Hall and said they'd review logistics before finalizing approvals.

Council did not record a formal vote in the transcript on the decoration request; staff were asked to follow up with location and equipment details and to confirm whether any additional approvals or safety measures would be required.
