REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Johnathan Oliver Skinner, Director Of Community Services
Date:August 22, 2023
Subject:Trunk or Treat Street Closures
Recommendation
Approve Temporary Street Closures for the Trunk or Treat Event on October 14, 2023.
Background
This is the inaugural proposal to expand the Trunk or Treat event to our Historic Downtown
providing a unique opportunity to enjoy its charm and history. This popular event is typically held
in the Lake Community Center. However, highly successful past attendance necessitates the
relocation of the event to this new and exciting location. Trick or Treating, haunted maze, crafts,
vendors, and more for the whole family to enjoy.
Discussion
The annual Trunk or Treat is planned to take place on Main Street in Downtown Lake Elsinore
from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Community Services Department, Public Works Department and
Sheriff’s Department will coordinate resources to ensure public safety. As this event continues to
grow, staff anticipate approximately 8,000 attendees. As a result, staff is recommending street
closures at Main Street between Heald Avenue and Limited Street as detailed in Attachment 1. It
is recommended that these street closures remain in place from 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The
street closures will be enforced by law enforcement personnel.
Fiscal Impact
Expenses for City personnel staffing will be accommodated via the Community Services fiscal
budget.
