The Centralia City Council approved an ordinance amending the Centralia municipal code to allow vehicles parked in temporarily closed parking lots and event areas to be towed and ticketed after a 72-hour notice period. City manager Galen Mahle says that in the past, vehicles have been left within closed areas during events. This ordinance allows Public Works, ESDA, and the police department to remove vehicles left in closed areas.

In the consent agenda, the council approved the use of Fairview park by American Legion Post #446 for the annual Fourth of July celebration from July 1 through July 4, approved closure and use of streets and sidewalks on several dates for the Crooked Creek Winery Downtown Summer Concert Series, and approved the use of Laura Leake Park and temporary closure of several streets for the 618 Day event being hosted by Sabrina McClain and Malaysia’s World Organization on June 18.
