Amador County – Jackson City Council on Monday approved closing part of Main Street in June 2013 for the wedding of Beau Gillman and his fiancée, Marci Banicevich.

City Manager Mike Daly said road closure requests usually are on a consent agenda, but “this one is a little bit out of the ordinary.” He said Gillman and Banicevich would like to hold their wedding on the steps of the National Hotel, with seating for 600-800 on Main Street.

Daly discussed logistics with the couple, including security, cleanup, an insurance policy naming the city additionally insured, and notification of merchants that may be affected. Daly in a report said Gillman and Banicevich “have talked with every merchant in the closure area and received their support.” He said the couple wanted to get permission and confirmation from the Council “prior to other major planning activities.”

The Council voted 5-0 to approve the partial closure, with 4 “aye” votes, and Vice Mayor Connie Gonsalves adding: “I’ll say I do.” Daly said the 3:30 p.m. Saturday wedding is during the busiest time on Main Street, and it will be good to have something like this.
