TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
City Council Participation in the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Prepared by: Jordan Foss, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider participating in the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Parade by walking as
a group.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the City Council walking in the parade or provide other direction.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
Each year, the City Council participates in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The City
Council has typically walked along the parade route, but it has also used a fire truck, cable car,
or float in the past. In 2024, the City Council decided to walk to engage and interact with
spectators.
Staff is recommending the walking option again this year. If this option is selected, Staff will
likely utilize a truck to lead the procession and carry the City Council banner.
To move forward with preparations for the parade, Staff is seeking City Council approval of this
concept.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
