Agency votes to exclude several businesses from proposed SE 4th Street lighting district
Summary
The Laurel Renewal Agency voted to exclude Wendy's, Nampa and Fox Lumber from a proposed SE 4th Street lighting district and agreed to leave Bernhart out as currently configured; staff will update cost sheets and invite landowners to an open house.
The Laurel Renewal Agency voted on Jan. 12 to exclude several named businesses from a proposed SE 4th Street lighting district and directed staff to refine cost estimates and outreach ahead of an upcoming open house.
Judy Goldsby moved and Peggy Pollock seconded a motion to exclude Wendy's, Nampa and Fox Lumber from the proposed lighting district; the minutes record the motion as passing 'all in favor.' Daniel Klein moved (with a second from Judy Goldsby) to leave Bernhart out of the lighting district as it is currently configured; that motion was also recorded as passing.
Forrest Sanderson said he is updating the Task Order #6 cost sheet to show estimated costs to landowners; that mailing will include an invitation to an open house tentatively scheduled for Feb. 4, 4–6 p.m. at The Front Porch, 109 W. 1st St., Laurel. Forrest said he will contact consultant Triple Tree to change the open-house date and time if necessary.
The group noted that additional lighting or future projects could add streets later; decisions taken at this meeting adjust the proposed district boundaries but do not preclude later work.
The committee set its next meeting for Jan. 26, 2026.
