Staff asked for SOPs to help operations support Mural Festival and Fire & Ice

Jeff, who stepped in for the absent Joe McDonald, asked the committee for a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that spells out tasks and timelines so Public Works crews can better support festival operations. Jeff specifically asked for guidance staff can use year to year; Kelly agreed to prepare the SOP for the mural festival, and Jeff said he would incorporate trash-collection plans into the document for Fire & Ice.

Committee members framed the SOP request as an operational necessity as the festivals scale up. In the Mural Festival discussion members repeatedly noted logistics questions — travel and lodging for visiting artists, trash collection, and placement of attractions — that a written SOP could help standardize.
