DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Community Development Agency, Transportation Division, recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 084-2016 sanctioning the closure of Pleasant Valley Road between Leisure Lane and Mt. Aukum Road (E-16) and the barricading at the intersections of Pleasant Valley Road and Beau Val Lane, Alameda Road, and Strauss Drive, on Monday, July 4, 2016, between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., for the “Pleasant Valley 4th of July Parade,” subject to conditions set forth in Resolution No. 110-79 and in the road closure “Special Event Permit Application.”
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The “Pleasant Valley 4th of July Parade” is celebrating its 31st year and is being sponsored by the Pleasant Valley Grange #675 (Sponsor).
This is a community event with lots of kids on decorated bicycles, horses, dogs, tractors, and old cars, as well as fire engines from the local Fire Department participating in the planned parade. Carnival-type booths will be set up in the Fire Department’s driveway by the Boy Scouts for a balloon toss and dunk tank, etc., and for the selling of soda and hot dogs. Prior to the parade, the Pleasant Valley Grange will hold a pancake breakfast fundraiser from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
This road closure is requested to enhance the success of the event and to provide for the safety of participants, volunteers, and spectators by preventing vehicular traffic within the event course.
Other involved agencies have made no objections to the requested road closure.
ALTERNATIVES
If the Board does not approve the road closure, the event would not take place at this time or location. If the Sponsor wants to proceed with the event, other options would need to be explored.
OTHER DEPARTMENT / AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

CAO RECOMMENDATION

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The requested road closure has no Fiscal Impact or Net County Cost.
