AGENCY CONSIDERATION:
8. 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 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.
Member Cohen moved and Member Miller seconded, to adopt the Resolution accepting
the proposal from Republic Electric to furnish and install four banner poles
on Fourth Street.
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:
