City Council (Special) - Apr 27, 2026
The council waived certain city fees for next year's supported special events — and added Eastport a Rockin' to the list via an amendment. Event organizers save on city fees; the city forgoes that revenue.
Finance Committee - Special Meeting - Budget Hearing - Apr 22, 2026
The city waives police, fire, and public works fees for special events, but those costs — especially overtime (fire has nearly $2 million) — keep climbing. Members supported this year's list including Eastport-a-Rockin', but want a full policy review after budget season.
