District Services
Manager Update
Andrew Jones
The City Council approved a plan for Latham
Square that includes an improved public space
with two way traffic which can be easily closed
for events.
Andrew noted that staff recently completed the
winter planting of the 50 planters in the district,
and that we are waiting on the permit to
landscape the Harrison Street median. Staff is
expecting the delivery of 10 more Big Belly trash
compactors for the Uptown district.
Andrew reported that the CCTV system has
been successful in its objectives.
Steve updated the committee on the progress of
the development of the Community Watch
program.
Review of BBB cost
comparison and matrix
Andrew reviewed the hiring challenges that staff
has been facing and the process that staff has
gone through with Block by Block to develop the
proposed payment structure which includes the
addition of an administrative support role and/or
longevity bonuses. There was discussion of how
the new structure impacts Ambassador hours on
the street. The committee proposed adopting
the new structure and requesting additional
funds from Unallocated Carry Forward to
maintain current Ambassador hours.
Review of service
provider goals
The goals were presented to the committee for
review.
Allocation of funds to
repair the art deco
clock at 17
th
and
Broadway
Andrew explained that the glass in the clock was
broken and in its current state, the clock must be
removed and taken to a workshop to be
repaired. He proposed making an upgrade to the
clock that would allow the glass to be replaced
on site. In total the cost of repairing and
upgrading the clock has been quoted at
approximately $7,000. With the upgrade,
replacing the glass in the future would cost less
than $200. It was noted that Bar Dogwood is
expanding into the space next to the clock which
will bring more attention to the corner. David
suggested that we wait ti reinstall the clock until
the construction is completed, and Aliza
suggested that we look into determining
ownership of, and insuring, the clock.
David moved and
Martin seconded the
motion to approve the
allocation of funds
from SOBO: Misc. to
cover the cost of
repairing and
upgrading the Art
Deco Clock at 17
th
Street and Broadway.
The motion was
approved unanimously.
Other There were no other items discussed.
