REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: February 8, 2016 <br /> <br />ITEM NO: 5 <br /> <br />Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Name Adam T. Edwards JML Public Works Director/ <br />Title Public Works Director City Engineer’s Report <br /> <br />Item Description: Navarre Light Pole Decorations <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this memorandum is to solicit Council direction (Type and Quantity) on <br />decorations for the Navarre Light Poles. <br /> <br />2. Background. The streetlight posts the City had installed come with <br />several attachments for decorative items. The poles can support banners, <br />holiday lights and flags. Thirty-two of the light poles can support holiday <br />decorations. In 2015 the Council directed the procurement 32 Banners and 10 <br />5’ holiday snowflake lights. Banners were placed on the poles through the <br />summer and fall of 2015 and the lights were placed on the poles during the <br />holiday season. Currently many holiday light suppliers are having clearance <br />sales making it a good time to procure additional lights, if that is the council’s <br />desire. <br /> <br />3. Decorations Options. There are countless options for holiday light pole <br />decorations. The following are a sampling of possible options based off of <br />earlier discussions <br />a. Purchase an additional Holiday lights of the same design. Current <br />pricing from the same supplier we bought to the first 10 from is $410 each. <br />Purchasing 22 would fill all the remaining light poles and cost $9,020. <br />Alternatively we could purchase another 10 for $4,460. <br />b. Purchase additional holiday lights of a similar but different design. <br />These would be alternated with the original 10 snowflakes. Current pricing <br />with sales has 5 ft led snowflakes for as low as ~$350 each. <br />c. Should the City purchase American Flags for the poles? Flags with <br />poles cost ~$70 each. 32 would cost $2,240. <br /> <br />4. Schedule. Possible schedule. <br />a. December – January : Holiday Lights <br />b. March-Memorial Day : Banner <br />c. Memorial Day – 4th of July: Flags / Patriotic Banners <br />d. July-December: Banner <br /> <br />Funding. Decorations could be funded from the Community Investment Fund <br />(balance $875,000) or the Contingency/ Special Projects Fund <br />(balance=$40,000). <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Provide staff direction on future light pole decorations for Navarre. <br /> <br /> <br />Current Banner <br /> <br />Current Lights <br /> <br />Holiday Lights <br />5 ft Cascade (LED) <br />Flags <br />
