AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE POLES WILL BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF SLOT T AND THE RED APPLE, I BELIEVE SO BETWEEN MYRTLE AND GRAIN STREET.

SO THE PROPOSED PLANTERS RECTANGULAR WITH THE RED AND THE FINAL SIZE, WE HAVE NOT DETERMINED YET AND THEN I DID WANT TO LET Y'ALL KNOW WHEN THE PLANTERS GO IN BETWEEN GRANGE AND MYRTLE, YES. WE HAVE IRRIGATION IN THE AREA SO WHEN WE PUT THESE PLANTERS IN IRRIGATION WILL GO IN WITH THESE PLANTERS, SO THAT WILL HELP WITH THE MAINTENANCE ON THESE PLANTERS AS WELL. PLACEMENT, WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT THAT. SO THE FINAL LOCATION OF QUALITIES ARE STILL TO BE DETERMINED ON THAT. >> JUST WANTED TO NOTE SOME ONGOING BEAUTIFICATION EFFORTS OF DOWNTOWN WITH THIS PROJECT IS, HERE AT THE WATER TOWER PARKING LOT, OUR CREW HAVE DONE SOME XERISCAPING ON HALF OF THE PARKING LOT IMPROVING AESTHETIC, IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD SO WE DID HALF OF THE PARKING LOT AND NEXT YEAR WITH THE FUNDING WE'LL DO THE OTHER PIECE OF XERISCAPE THE AREA AND CONTINUE THAT BEAUTIFICATION. >> YEAH LOOKS THOSE ARE RECENT PICTURES? >> YEAH.

BUT WE'VE GONE TO THE EDC AND PARTNERED WITH THEM AND ASKED FOR THEM TO PACE FOR A PORTION OF THIS PROJECT ON THESE WHOLE IMPROVEMENTS, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD COVER UP TO $120,000 OF THE PROJECT. AND THEN THE REMAINING PIECE WOULD BE FROM GENERAL FUND, WE'RE GOING TO REQUEST COUNCIL APPROVAL ON THAT IN THE COMING MONTHS. AND THEN LOOKING AT IT OVERALL SCHEDULE, NOVEMBER WE'LL HAVE THE CHRISTMAS TREE INSTALLATION AND ESSENTIALLY AFTER THE HOLIDAYS, WE'LL BEGIN CONSTRUCTION SO THAT WE DON'T INTERRUPT ANY OF OUR CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES. >> I'LL TALK ABOUT THE POLES AND THE BOARDWALK, AND ALL OF THAT.
