Good Morning Roy.
I spoke with the City Administrator and for this year we believe we can get
this done if everyone stays on the sidewalk and we can get everyone through
the intersection at 70 and 441 and across the street going to Douglas Park.
If you could stop back by City Hall with a route mapped out of this, we can
help you with the other basic paperwork.
I will be out of the office today from 12-1 but here after that.

In the past I do not believe anyone has ever required them to obtain any permits from City, County or DOT. We have
always lead them from the front and back. When they approached me about it I wanted to make sure everyone was

There was a gentleman that come in today asking about doing a walk down SR70 from Park
4 to the Douglas Park Subdivision area for Monday, January 16th (MLK Day). He said
people would just gather in the Park first and then walk down the road he said with a police
escort in the front and back to the Douglas Park area for more activities to take place there.
He indicated he had spoken to the Sheriff already and he was fine with it but told him to
check with us. Back in the day they used to have a parade but there will be no vehicles or
floats for this one. I am not sure if we need permission from FDOT (not really sure if just a
lane would be occupied or if they would have to walk on sidewalk)???? How you would like
me to handle this, is it something they could do this year, not sure about whether there is
enough time for notification to Police Department or if Public Works would need to do
anything with signage??? Would I just have them fill out an application like we did for the
Catholic Church last month and would they need to provide insurance since they would be
meeting in the Park or could we waive that requirement?
Sorry for so many questions.
