Eureka City Council heard two public requests during their regular meeting Tuesday, May 27. Matt Wilson requested formal approval for the Fourth of July fireworks events for the city and at Eureka Lake. Wilson said that firework shows are planned on July 4 at Riverside Park and July 5 at the lake. The council gave approval to both events.
Steve Brown addressed the council regarding street closures during the upcoming Eureka Days celebration, set for June 6-7. Brown said that he would like to use caution tape rather than barricades at most of the street corners downtown along the parade route. Brown’s intention was that the city workers would not have to bring out and take down as many barricades if caution tape were to be used. The council questioned whether there would be adequate places to connect the tape at the corners where Brown intended to use it. Brown offered to do a drive-through of the route to check if appropriate fixtures, such as street sign poles, are available to put the plan into action. He said he would get back to the council with his findings.
