Revitalization Commission Minutes April 12, 2023 Page 4 of 5 Commissioner Williams asked if this overlaps with the Comprehensive Plan. The Director of Community Development noted that this will be a totally separate process and this project will be very specific. Chair Adler asked for specification of LRC decision making authority in relation to Council's authority. Staff noted this needs to be a collaborative project between LRC and Council. Commissioner Smith suggested wayfinding be called out separately from the rest of the plan. Commissioner Harald agreed with this as well. Commissioner Iglesias noted adding flower baskets to light posts would be a nice addition. Commissioner Harald asked for more information in the future about what "concept designs" would entail. Staff will proceed to City Council with this RFP proposal. Public Comment: Josh Cooperman requested that eBike infrastructure be included in this plan as well as increasing the number of bicycle racks. He also noted the sport complex has no bicycle parking. Mike asked about a gateway at Pine and HWY 42. The City owns the West and SW corner and would like to see a gateway improvement. Councilmember Leh suggested this be bid separately and Commissioner Smith noted the HWY 42 improvement plan will affect that area. Discussion/Direction: Commission and Board URA Proiect SUDDort (Process & Criteria) The Director of Community Development presented information on how the Boards and Commissions function and suggested Cultural Council should be approached about what projects they have. The new EV Manager will reach out to Boards, Commissions and various City Departments to discover how this funding might be used as possible mini -grant program. Commissioner Comments: Councilmember Leh noted that Council is looking at Board & Commission structure and function to clarify their scope. Public Comment: None Fagade Improvement Program: Assignment of Agreement from Los Viejos, LLC to Historic 740 Front Street, LLC The EV Specialist noted that the LRC previously approved a Fagade Improvement Agreement with Los Viejos, LLC which operates at 740 Front Street. It now turns out that it's actually going to be the property owner who will pay for the improvements and the property owner is requested direct reimbursement from the Fagade Improvement Program for these improvements. The propose assignment agreement transfers the Fagade Improvement Agreement from Los Viejos to Historic 740 Front Street LLC.
