Summary

A resident asked for permission to place a shared Hot Wheels toy box near 507 Morris Boulevard; neighbors support the idea and the council asked for a demonstration and indemnification details before formal approval at the Nov. 24 meeting.

A resident proposed installing a publicly accessible Hot Wheels toy box in the right-of-way near 507 Morris Boulevard, modeled on free little libraries, and asked the committee for permission.

The applicant said neighbors expressed strong interest and that the box would occupy a small sliver of the right-of-way adjacent to the driveway; the council asked for a demonstration at the Nov. 24 meeting and discussed indemnification and exact placement. The applicant said he believed he would be the signatory on the indemnification agreement.

Councilors encouraged the applicant to bring neighbors and children to the Nov. 24 meeting for a demonstration; staff will prepare the indemnification form and placement guidance before final approval.
