3. FOURTH STREET LIGHT REPLACEMENT - RESOLUTION APPROVING PROTOTYPE STREET LIGHT
AND PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE (PW) - File R-366 x R-140 XIII
Acting Executive Director Jake Ours reported the prototype street light was installed
a couple of weeks ago in the 1000 block of Fourth Street, with green banners
to draw attention to the light. He stated that if the light meets with Agency's
approval, we can proceed with the final order for the first phase of the street
light replacements, which will be in the Downtown area, from Lincoln to "E"
Street. He reported the second phase would begin next year, from "E" Street
to "H" Street, noting this phase will be a little more complex because of the
underground wires.
Chairman Boro stated Mr. Ours had met with merchants and members of the Business
Improvement District regarding the overall streetscape plans, and asked if
the Agency would have the opportunity to see this plan? Mr. Ours stated he
had just received the plan, and would be bringing it to the Agency. He reported
they have designed a baseline, which is the continuation of the sidewalks,
including some brick patterns and colored concrete, and noted the merchants
are being given the option to improve on that further if they want something

special in their own area.
Chairman Boro asked if the street lights were part of the whole package, and would
not be installed until the entire streetscape was completed? Mr. Ours stated
the lights can be installed first, noting they will be installed on the old
light bases. Mr. Ours pointed out the cobras on the overhead lights on the
street corners are going to remain, but at the corners of Fourth and "A" Streets
they will replace the cobras and install an acorn shaped bulb, which he stated
looked quite nice, and will give the corners an antique look.
Member Heller asked if the Vision Committee and everyone working on the Downtown
Vision had seen the new prototype, and Mr. Ours stated they had, and that all
of them liked it. Mr. Ours stated this light is copied from the original 1940
street light.
Member Cohen moved and Member Phillips seconded, to adopt the Resolution approving
the Fourth Street prototype street light pole and the implementation plan.
RESOLUTION NO. 96-48 - RESOLUTION FOR APPROVING THE FOURTH STREET PROTOTYPE
STREET LIGHT POLE AND THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

- File R-368 x R-140 XIV
Acting Executive Director Ours reported the first Fair, Issac meeting will be held
tomorrow morning with staff, the developer, and representatives of the Agency.
Chairman Boro stated he has asked Vice Chairman Cohen to join him at the meeting,
as they meet with staff to begin formulating the plans from the City's point
of view, and meet with the developer. Chairman Boro stated they hope to meet
with representatives of Fair, Issac within the next couple of days, after having
completed a combined action plan that the City, the developer, and Fair, Issac
all agree to, so that over the next thirty days the City can begin to answer
the questions Fair, Issac has raised, and complete this transaction and move
