ADOPTION OF AGENDA
The Agenda was adopted as presented.
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
1. Update on Downtown Lights
Director Moore informed the Authority that we were making progress on the lighting for the
Downtown light poles. We will need to give a final number of participants to Dan’s excavating
next week, so that we can get a proposal back. It may be necessary to schedule a special
meeting so the Authority can approve the expenditure so we can move ahead with the project.
Authority members were in consensus that as long as the proposal came back within the
budgeted amount, the Director has the authority to move forward with the project.
Motion by Reindel, seconded by Garant, to authorize the Director to spend up to $25,000 on
the lighting project.
All yeas Motion passes
2. Update on Aud
Director Moore informed the Authority that the School Superintendent, Brian Walmsley, contact
him to state that the School Board had directed him to place the revised purchase agreement
with the City on Their September 27th School Board Agenda.
If approved by the Board, the City should take ownership of the building shortly after that.
