July 22, 2026 Special City Council Meeting

The City of Grants Pass held a special city council meeting on July 22, 2026, primarily to consider a resolution authorizing the city manager to lease a portion of 5th Street between G and H to Main Street Grants Pass for an upcoming event called Cruise the Rogue. The lease would allow the provision of alcoholic beverages during the event, which benefits local charities including the Children's Museum, Boys & Girls Club, and Grants Pass High School. The council discussed the need for this lease due to current municipal code restrictions on alcohol at such events and noted that this approach is similar to previous arrangements made for events like Boatnik. The resolution was approved unanimously by the council members present, enabling the event to proceed under the lease terms. No other procurement or budget items were discussed during the meeting.
