APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF BANNER SUPPORT POLES DOWNTOWN (NOT TO EXCEED $23,480) WITH REPUBLIC ELECTRIC (RA) - File R-366 x R-140 XIV Economic Development Director Jake Ours explained this was the final item in the Street Lighting Program. He reported the lights and banner poles had already been installed in the first section, the main part of Downtown, and noted the second phase, in the West End, was currently being installed. He stated that in studying the new street lights, and also during the Vision process, one thing that arose was a request that there be a place where banners could be put up across Fourth Street. Mr. Ours reported this will be done using a pole that matches the poles already in place, noting it will be easy to put the banners up. He stated there would be one at each end of Fourth Street, one where Second and Fourth Streets come together, and another at Lincoln Avenue and Fourth Street. Mr. Ours stated this would be open to non-profit and community groups who want to advertise their events, and noted the charges would make this self-supporting. Member Heller pointed out the City had passed an Ordinance in support of this a SRRA MINUTES (Regular) 10/20/97 Page 2 SRRA MINUTES (Regular) 10/20/97 Page 3 year ago, and Member Miller noted the poles down at the West End had been specifically requested during the Vision process, because they wanted to make sure the whole of Fourth Street would be included.

RESOLUTION NO. 97-47 - RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE PROPOSAL DATED SEPTEMBER 5, 1997, FROM REPUBLIC ELECTRIC TO FURNISH AND INSTALL FOUR BANNER POLES ON FOURTH STREET AND AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $23,480. AYES: MEMBERS: Cohen, Heller, Miller, Phillips & Chairman Boro NOES: MEMBERS: None ABSENT: MEMBERS: None Member Cohen recommended establishing a "sole source", and the person responsible for the banners should be the one who walks applicants through the City's process, noting there have been mis-steps in the past. He stated we should not have the specific agencies and non -profits having to go from counter to counter; it should be "one-stop shopping" for approval on the banners and in getting them put up. Member Heller asked who would be responsible for them? Member Cohen recommended the applicants be sent to the Redevelopment Agency, and Mr. Ours acknowledged he would be in charge of these requests. 9. AGENCY MEMBER REPORTS: None There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:40 PM. JEANNE M. LEONCINI, Agency Secretary SRRA MINUTES (Regular) 10/20/97 Page 3
