The Helena City Commission is expected to approve revisions to city code regarding special event and open container permitting at an upcoming meeting. The new section of code states any event operating on city rights-of-way must secure a permit. Larger, recurring events can now apply for long-term agreements as well, a big win for groups like Montana Pride, which butted heads with the commission in recent years. A second reading on the revisions is slated for the city’s regular May 8 meeting at 6 p.m.
