A. Update and Status of Ann Arbor Road Streetscape Project
Terry Croad, McKenna & Associates.
Mr. Croad updated members on the work done on the Ann Arbor Road Streetscape
Project.
He explained that four piers and two sections of fence in front of Steak and Ale
were inadvertently not bid as part of the project because of an incorrect
notation on the plan by the contract designer, though the intent was to install
it. He asked if the DDA wants to add that as a change order for an approximate
additional $7,000 in cost.
The members discussed the availability of contingency funds for the change
order. Mr. Croad presented reports denoting the dollar value of the
non-participating and participating modifications to the streetscape.
Moved by Mr. Nahra, supported by Mrs. Ludtke, to allocate the expenditure of up
to $7,000 from the contingency fund to reinstate the piers and fencing that were
to be established in front of the Steak & Ale Restaurant along Ann Arbor Road.
Ayes all.
Mr. Croad then presented a lighter optional color choice for the light poles and
gateway structures.
Per discussion on the color choices for the light poles and the gateway
structures, members concurred that they be painted the originally-approved
hunter green.
Mr. Croad indicated the new Kmart sign has been installed. Mrs. Ludtke remarked
on the garish look of the pole lights at the entrances in contrast with the new
sign and lighting.
He also explained the progress made in conjunction with the new landscaping at
the Bally’s facility.
The Board discussed possible future maintenance decisions.
B. Approval of Invoices.
Moved by Mrs. Ludtke, supported by Mr. Barone, to approve the invoices in the
