Commission approves final invoice for banner brackets; staff to verify concert sponsorship amount
Summary
The commission approved payment to the installer for street banner brackets and signed the voucher against a previously approved $50,000 reserve; members also discussed Franklin Park concerts sponsorship levels and asked staff to confirm the correct amount.
The Franklin Tourism Commission approved the final invoice for banner-bracket installation and confirmed the charge will be paid from a previously authorized $50,000 reserve; commissioners also discussed the recommended sponsorship amount for Franklin Park concerts and asked staff to verify the figure.
Commission members reviewed the Olympus Group invoice for installation of banner brackets and moved to approve the voucher that covers the installation work. The commission’s motion to approve the voucher passed by voice vote and the voucher was signed during the meeting; commissioners confirmed the cost came from the $50,000 reserve they had previously approved.
Commissioners reported that banners are installed and that four extra brackets remain in stock because some pole specifications differed from the agreement with the utility. Staff said the spare brackets will serve as replacements if any damage occurs.
Members also spoke about funding for Franklin Park concerts. Brandon relayed that Engage Franklin discussed a potential contribution and that the amount discussed at Engage Franklin was $200; several commissioners said they thought the tourism commission historically provided larger support (one commissioner said in recent years the contribution had been $1,000). Commissioner Mark Wiley said he would verify the actual number at his next meeting and report back. No formal funding change for the concerts was approved at this meeting.
No litigation, ordinances or contract amendments were approved; the formal action at the meeting was the voucher approval for the banner brackets, which the commission processed and signed.
