Revitalization Commission Minutes January 11, 2016 Page 3 of 4 away. Necessity of light has not met all litmus tests yet. Light will most likely be installed after DELO is built out. Public Works has to coordinate the big picture. Downtown will have multiple construction projects for 2 years. Communication to those affected will be important. Commissioner Menaker believes putting out information asap will be beneficial. There was a discussion of risks, sequencing and who is responsible for making people aware of safety and construction issues. City departments will coordinate and City Manager has asked for a written communication plan. This communication plan will be brought to BRaD, LRC and Council. Commissioner Menaker said presenting an illustration of what all projects will look like once final and the benefit of the projects will lead to more support. Sequence of underpass was discussed. e. Public Hearing: Approval of 2016 LRC Budget Amendment Chair opened the public hearing and asked for staff presentation. DeJong said the total amount of money set aside for the detention pond will not be spent. He asked the LRC to reallocate $200K to South Street reconstruction. Mayor proposed the LRC pay for all improvements on South Street, including parking along the Miner's field ball park. Total estimated costs for South Street parking is $140,000, but LRC has only $125,000 from the detention project if the $200,000 is reallocated to South Street. It is unlikely the detention project will need additional funding from LRC. The Commission agreed that funds not spent on the detention project may be reallocated to South Street parking costs with a later budget amendment. Chair opened the hearing for Public Comments — there were none. Chair closed Public Hearing. Motion to approve Resolution 16 -01. Motion was approved unanimously. 4
