HOLIDAY DECORATIONS Linda Holmes, Redevelopment Department Management Assistant, gave the report, as contained in the memorandum dated September 24, 1990. She discussed the current amount of money available, which is $8,000, and the decorations available for that money. The City now has 33 Holiday Banners. The banners cost from $90 to 110 each, and 35 new banners could be purchased. Also, garlands could be purchased or caroling groups be hired. A basic decision needs to be made by this Committee. Member Norby stated he would like to see more caroling groups. Chairperson Densham said that he felt an impact could be made if all the light stanchions had some type of decoration, including the new lower poles in the streetscape. He felt either banners or bows tied onto the lower poles would be effective. Member Norby felt that by next year the merchants could be asked to participate in the decorating. The consensus of the Committee was that 35 new banners were needed and ribbon for tying bows on the light stanchions. The balance of the money should be spent on caroling groups. NEW BUSINESS: MASTER PLAN UPDATE Chairperson Densham reported that a meeting was held and this Committee is to develop a list of candidate names for the nine members, with Council Members not to be included a8 regular members. The intent was to make this citizen-driven and broad-based, and maybe make it larger. With one Council Member deleted, that would leave 8 members to be chosen. Peter Norby represents the northeast quadrant, and Chairman Densham and Mrs. Hayes represent the northwest quadrant. The downtown merchants should have a representative on the Committee, with two people from each quadrant. Then, any time the standing member could not make a meeting, the alternate could vote.
