Special Events: Touch a Truck — The City's Touch a Truck event typically takes place in early June, in conjunction with the Taste of Louisville. This year the Taste of Louisville will be an all-remote/online event. The City is considering options for conducting the Touch a Truck event in a COVID-friendly environment. Possibilities could include: • A walk through event with "stations" of trucks that can be viewed but not climbed on or touched. (Perhaps the event is called "See a Truck" in 2021.) • Registration for a time -slot for each group/household. • Limited numbers of total attendees at a given time, consistent with public health guidelines (under 250 people in Level Blue, 500 people in Level Green) • COVID plan for public health safety of staff, volunteers and visitors CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION 11
