Action Items-
a. The board may wish to approve a motion to commend Clubine & Ret1:ele,
especially, Leslie Corbett, for conducting the 1998 SDI board member election.
Everything worked very well and their report was timely.
b. Building Christmas Lights - Santa Fe Days electrical upgrade: The board needs to
come to agreement on how to proceed with these important issues.
Santa Fe Days - Since the upgrade materials and labor were included with the original
light project, Bill Sheppard has pulled those items from the project so the commission
may consider them for funding. Bill and Steve Barnett met with me and reviewed the
electrical needs. They are recommending the changes provided in the project and the
addition of four new spider boxes in order to adequately handle power loads. Two
would be used in 100 block North and 2 would be used in the 100 block South. This
is in addition to the 2 units now available.
Building Lights - the lighting chart has been updated and is enclosed. Open items
should be finalized by meeting time. The board must: 1) decide if it .wants to
proceed with the partial lighting of downtown based on the number of non-participants
2) approach the city with a request for a grant loan for those businesses who want to
participate but need a payment plan in order to do so. (The assessment process would
. be utilized for the repayment): and 3) request the city to partner with downtown by
offering to pay the cost of the metered lighting for the holiday season (Approximately
2 months). .
