Streetscape Project and authorizing staff to proceed with the bidding
process.
Don Burt explained that final engineered plans and specifications had been
received and he requested that the Development Commission approve them
and authorize the bidding process to begin. He stated that the advertising for
bids on the project would be in June and the plan was for construction to start in
early August. He reviewed and explained the stages of the project and what
each stage of the construction would entail. There was some discussion
regarding the possibility of work going on during night hours and the noise it
would make. Matt Samitore said that should night work be necessary, they
would need to get approval from the City Council, however at this stage there
was no work schedule in place so any issues would have to be determined once
work began.

the Final Engineered Plans, Specifications, and schedule for the East Pine
Streetscape Project and authorizing staff to proceed with the bidding

B. Consideration of Resolution No. 2017-07 Approving a Historic
Facade Grant for the Property at 359 S. Front Street, Lewis Hollingworth,
Applicant (File No. HFG 2017-02 )
Don Burt stated that an application had been received for a facade grant for a
sign for a bicycle shop on Front Street. He said that they had an estimate for
the cost of the sign of $2,500. Tom Humphrey explained that the shop owners
had previously painted the building but were submitting the application for the
sign only. He said that this met the requirements of the Development
Commission that they receive the application for any facade grants prior to the
work being commenced. There was some discussion regarding whether or not it
was a good idea to require the application to be approved prior to the work
being started as the process for approving an application might cause a
hardship to the applicant. It was stated that it would slow down the process of
the improvements. A question was raised as to whether the rule should be
changed. City Attorney Dan O'Connor asked it was a policy only or if it was
written in the code. He clarified that policy could be adjusted but if it was in the
code there would be a more lengthy process to make changes. The
Commissioners stated that it was a policy and they would like to wait until all
members were present to discuss adjusting the policy.
Brandon Thueson arrived at 6:50 p.m.
Tom Humphrey indicated that the goal of the grant program was to encourage
nice facades within the city. The discussion continued regarding what criteria
would be necessary in order for them to approve an application. The
Commissioners agreed that they should discuss it further at the next meeting.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
