The Downtown Adrian Main Street Downtown Development Authority approved two board actions Tuesday morning: purchase of a 12-by-16 storage shed to be placed at the Farmers Market pavilion and a sign application for Lenawee Community Mental Health at 201 West Maumee Street.

The storage shed purchase was recommended by the executive director to provide on-site event storage for equipment including a recently acquired golf cart. The board voted to contract with Amish Outdoor Buildings of Michigan (presented in the packet as the vendor option) for a 12-by-16 unit with roll-up door for delivery and setup included. Jay Marks, Main Street director, described the back northwest corner of the Farmers Market Pavilion (near the porta-potty area) as the proposed location and said the shed would occupy roughly two parking spaces. The packet listed a vendor price of $6,767.05; when the motion was announced the move-to-contract language included a figure that varied in the record ($6,007.66), but the board approved the action as presented at the meeting.

The board then considered a sign application forwarded by the sign review committee. Jerry, a sign review committee member, reported the committee approved the Lenawee Community Mental Health sign application unanimously; the board voted to recommend approval and indicated the project would still go through city staff for final specs.

Both items were carried by voice vote at the DDA meeting; no individual roll-call tally with member names was provided in the transcript.
