After some discussion, the Council decided to table the item on the agenda for possible approval of a request from the Jersey County Business Association to utilize the City Jefferson East Parking Lot for a “Street Fair” once a month, July through October, from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. and consideration of waiving rental fee and allow usage of event fencing. The main concern was the potential for lack of available parking for patrons of the Stadium Theatre and restaurants in that area during the time frame being requested. Mayor Russell stated he would have a conversation with the “street fair” vendors wanting to ensure they are all local and find out how many vendors would be using lot.
Under new business, Comm. Bexheti wanted to extend his sincere thanks to everyone who helped and participated in the fundraising event he sponsored this past Sunday for a celebration of life in honor of Liese Dodd.
