Page 1 of 2 Item #7 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT April 15, 2025 Police TITLE: APPROVE ANNUAL STREET CLOSURES FOR 2025 SUMMARY The Pleasanton Municipal Code requires City Council approval of parades and special events, which necessitate the temporary closure of city streets and temporary parking restrictions. RECOMMENDATION Approve the special events street closures for 2025. BACKGROUND During 2025, 15 special events are planned which will require street closures or parking restrictions. Staff recommends the City Council approve these events for the calendar year. DISCUSSION Advance approval for most events will streamline the approval process without sacrificing City input and control. If approval is granted for the stated events (Attachment 1), the Police Department will continue to process all event applications as in prior years. Event organizers will be required to submit a parade/street closure application, an insurance policy to indemnify the City from liability associated with the event, and detailed information about the operation of the event. Police Department staff will ensure event organizers effectively manage community notifications of potential event impacts as well as associated roadway closures. Prior to each event, the Police Chief will declare that an unusual condition exists, thereby allowing city streets to be temporarily closed and authorizing temporary parking controls on affected streets to be enforced.
