“There are also, at all times, the type of enforcement of illegal activities that would occur if this was not a special event, but there’s no additional screening processes,” she said.

City spokesman Brian Wheeler said private events at the Sprint Pavilion will have a check-in process as they normally would.

Officials will operate under a unified command, Brackney said, as they did in 2018. She would not specify how many state troopers are expected to be in the area.

Throughout the last few months, 19 community members on the Unity Days Action Committee have been planning events for the anniversary weekend, and throughout the late spring and summer of 2019.

Earlier this year, the city voted to establish Unity Days, and is reserving downtown parks for annual activities and barring any other events in those locations during future weekends around Aug. 12.

The City Council also appropriated $100,000 for the planning and marketing of Unity Days.
