Whereas, the Cities of Rochester Hills and Rochester jointly host an annual Christmas season parade, conducted under the sponsorship of the Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce; and
Whereas, the parade route begins on Rochester Road, south of Tienken Road in the City of Rochester Hills and proceeds south along Rochester Road to Third Street in downtown Rochester; and
Whereas, staging this event requires closing certain State and County routes and using others for posted detour routes; and

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Rochester Hills City Council authorizes the Mayor or his/her agents to make application to the Road Commission for Oakland County for the necessary permits for posting road closures and detours; and
Be It Further Resolved that the parade routes be scheduled for between the hours of 12:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., on Avon, Livernois, Tienken, Letica (E. Second Street), and Main Street (Rochester) Roads; and
