The program is intended to encourage ongoing investment in property maintenance, landscaping, façade improvements, and overall beautification while fostering reinvestment, community pride, and the continued vitality and attractiveness of the redevelopment area. Each month, CRAAB members will submit nominations for eligible properties. During the CRAAB meeting, the Board will review the nominations and select one recipient to receive the Monthly CRA Beautification Award. The selected recipient will be recognized with a reusable, double- sided yard sign that will be displayed at the award-winning property for the month before being transferred to the next month's recipient. Recognizing award recipients in this manner will highlight exemplary beautification efforts, increase community awareness of the program, and encourage continued investment that enhances the overall appearance and vibrancy of the CRA District. Fiscal Impact: The fiscal impact associated with establishing the Monthly CRA Beautification Award is $182 for the initial purchase of two reusable, double-sided recognition signs and two sign frames. The signs and frames will be reused and transferred monthly to each award recipient. No significant recurring costs are anticipated beyond normal maintenance or replacement as needed. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the CRA Advisory Board submit and review nominations for the Monthly CRA Beautification Award and collectively select one recipient for recognition.
