RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the request to accommodate the annual Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show to

DISCUSSION:
The Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show requests the street closures listed above for the 2020 Stock Show. These public streets listed
above will be closed for the duration of the event, except Trinity Park Drive will be intermittently closed to support livestock preparation needs and
for equine trailer on street parking. This request requires City Council approval because it exceeds a 72-hour time limit for street closures
for events, as stated in the Transportation Engineering Manual §11.1.1 (Policy). The Policy was designed to keep the City Council informed of
major street closures in the City.
The Transportation and Public Works Department has reviewed and concurs with this request.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.
