Discussion ensued on placing a cap on the backside to block light penetrations, provide a finished
appearance, and provide an opportunity to utilize it to convey information.

City Manager Tim Bolduc said the RFP draft is in final stages for the downtown improvements. He said
the budget is $4 million to do the first two phases for the primary roads. The side streets will include the
improvements. He hopes we will begin construction in the fall. The parking lot will be done in
conjunction. He said the splashpad supplies are in and should be finished in the next couple of weeks. He
reported the Bush House is due to open the first week in August.
10. Comments from the Board
Chair N. Boyles mentioned an update of local projects from the legislative allocation and will return with
more information on how it will be allocated. City Manager T. Bolduc replied that the balance of the
funding for projects is from the 1/2 cent sales tax, so he would welcome any other funding.
City Manager Tim Bolduc mentioned he is submitting a one -million -dollar allocation for the Affordable
Housing project. He said the plan will include 17 2 -bedroom apartments, however, the property is just
outside the CRA borders, so we cannot use CRA funds. If we get more funding, we will add six one -
bedroom apartments, as well.
Chair N. Boyles asked the Board if they had any comments.
Board member D. Capps asked when we will start selling more bricks, and CRA Director E. Roy replied
we have had some interest. She added after we replace the bricks, we will sell them again.
In response to Board member J. Blocker on the status of the splashpad, City Manager T. Bolduc replied
we are two weeks away from completing the splashpad. We have been awaiting the Rotary logo to
complete the project.
