Both events will be open to the public from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The Kathy Osebold, the organizer of the events is requesting the closure of Monroe Street from Main Street to Parker Streel along with the closure of the northern third of the municipal parking lot adjacent to Monroe Street. The organizer is proposing two new items this year. First, Kathy will be broadening the invitation to vendors to include mobile boutiques and food trucks. Second, Kathy would like assistance from the City of Richmond in requesting the use of the High School parking lot from Richmond Community Schools and transit buses from RLEMS. Administration is requesting direction from Council on whether the City will make these request for the use of School property and RLEMS for both the April and July events. Kathy Osebold informed Council that the changes being made were due to safety issues with past events. Kathy explained that she will be pushing for mobile boutiques. For the April event, this will be especially helpful, since weather can be very unpredictable. Kathy informed Council that she has reached out to the Schools for use of the parking lot, but has not received a call back, this was the reason she was requesting the City’s assistance. Council discussed the many events that will be occurring in the City on July 27th in addition to the Rummage and Relic sale: The Community Garage Sale, the Ride Richmond and the Garden Stroll. Council was of the consensus that it would be appropriate for Administration to reach out to the school for use of the parking lot and to RLEMS for use of the Transit bus on the July 27th date. Council discussed what events were occurring in the City on April 27th in addition to the Junk in the Trunk event. It was determined that the Little League opening Day would be on this Saturday, therefore there would be a lot of additional people in the City. The consensus of Council was that it would be appropriate for Administration to reach out to the school for use of the parking lot and to RLEMS for use of the Transit bus on the April 27th date.
