Special Events Team Meeting

The City of Boise Special Events Team held a meeting on July 8, 2026, to coordinate upcoming large-scale public events including the Boise Soul Food Festival, the Albertsons Pro-Am golf tournament, and a major stadium event at Boise State University. The meeting focused on event logistics such as security staffing, emergency access, sanitation services, traffic and parking management, and vendor operations. Key procurement-related discussions included arrangements for sanitation services with Summit providing restrooms and dumpsters, security services contracted through Ford's Pro Protection Group and Boise Police Department officers, and shuttle transportation services by Caldwell Transportation. The Albertsons Pro-Am event highlighted partnerships with Waste Management Republic Services for trash and recycling containers and Hillcrest Country Club as the sole alcohol vendor. The stadium event detailed plans for temporary parking, shuttle routes, and security measures including federal agents and K9 units. Several agencies confirmed receipt of certificates of insurance and permits, and coordination on traffic control plans and emergency action plans was emphasized. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during the meeting, but multiple action items were assigned to ensure vendor coordination and compliance with city regulations for these events.
