At-a-glance: Board approves parade closure, event reschedule, bond return and two CDBG grants
Summary
The board approved a holiday parade street closure, rescheduled a trunk-or-treat fundraiser, returned a maintenance bond tied to a small Amazon project, ratified two community development block grant awards, and approved a demand to collect a past service-availability fee via letter of credit draw.
The Greater Board of Public Safety took several routine approvals and votes on Oct. 20, including a parade street closure, an event date change, a return of a maintenance bond, two community development block grant awards and a direction to pursue collection against a previously arranged letter of credit.
Most significant actions (at a glance):
- Minutes: The board approved the minutes from its Oct. 6 meeting.
- Holiday parade permit and street closure: Scott and Jack, co-owners of the Take Root Country Store and members of Discover of the Greenwood, requested a street closure and use of the Pearl and Madison Avenue parking lot for a holiday parade set for Nov. 22; the board approved the request. The parade will assemble at the United Methodist Church on Madison Avenue and proceed to Saranaway; the parade start time was listed as 5:30 p.m.
- Return of maintenance bond (Graham Road southbound): Brian Jawalski appeared by phone asking for return of a maintenance bond associated with road work on Graham Road tied to a small Amazon project (Sheer GW 4 building). Staff indicated the work and inspection were in order and the board approved the bond return.
- Walk-on event reschedule (Miss Molly trunk-or-treat): TBR Services LLC asked to move a postponed Miss Molly trunk-or-treat fundraiser (originally approved for Oct. 19) to Oct. 26; the board approved the new date.
- Community Development Block Grant awards: The board approved a $8,047.25 award to First Estate Way Services and a $12,000 award to Greenwood Senior Services Center. Staff indicated these are the same amounts as last year.
- Demand on letter of credit for Greenwood Springs Dental, LLC (SAF fee): Staff explained a 2012 arrangement that allowed Greenwood Springs Dental, LLC to pay a partial service-availability fee (SAF) with the remainder secured by a letter of credit. The city received a pre-dormant-account notice on that letter of credit and, after staff review, the board directed staff to send a demand letter to draw on the instrument to collect the remaining SAF amount.
How the votes were recorded: Most actions were approved by voice vote. Specific roll-call vote names and tallies were not recorded in the transcript; motions were moved and seconded and the chair called for ayes.
