Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />October 12, 2022 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />Councilmember Leh mentioned underpasses and the lack of discussion in City Council <br />about these projects. The LRC has committed to two underpass projects and asked if it <br />is necessary to add funding to cover these projects. Director Zuccaro responded that <br />the City has done a lot of preliminary engineering for all the underpass projects and <br />noted that advancing those projects would require a large budget. He suggested the <br />LRC could use funding to advance feasibility studies and provide support to move <br />these projects forward. <br />Commissioner Harald suggested budgeting in 2023 for work that moves the catalytic <br />projects forward in 2024 and noted that the discussion was currently around <br />underpasses because those projects are concrete. The City Attorney cautioned the <br />commission that the special projects don't fall under marketing and to make sure the <br />line item headings identify expenditures correctly. <br />Fagade Improvement Program Application: Scherer Violin Shop @ 844 Main Street, <br />Unit 103 <br />Staff presented Scherer Violin's Shop application for Fagade Improvement Program <br />reimbursement.
