Board approves facade grant and certificate of appropriateness for 400 East Main Street
Summary
The board approved a facade grant application and a certificate of appropriateness for 400 East Main Street, noting two contractor quotes (Moncada Plastering: 44,960; Mejia Great Plastering: 63,100) and that the applicant applied for the program maximum of 20,000; one or more members abstained from the grant vote due to involvement in the process.
The Main Street Advisory Board approved both a facade grant application and a certificate of appropriateness for the property at 400 East Main Street, submitted by Luis Ainsley, the board announced.
City staff reviewed two contractor bids for the work: Moncada Plastering at 44,960 and Mejia Great Plastering at 63,100, and recommended awarding the program maximum grant amount to the applicant. "He did bring in the 2 quotes. First quote is from Moncada Plastering. They quoted him a total of 44,960. And then his second quote is from Mejia Great Plastering, and they quoted him 63... 63,100," the presenter said. Staff recommended awarding the grant and the board voted to approve the application.
One board member abstained from the grant vote and explained they had been involved in the process; the meeting record shows multiple abstentions during the grant vote and one abstention on the certificate of appropriateness vote. The chair recorded the tally for the grant as "3 ayes" with abstentions noted.
Staff explained that because the property sits inside the historic district, a certificate of appropriateness is required for the planned facade replacement; the board moved and seconded approval of that certificate and recorded one abstention.
City staff will process the grant paperwork and the certificate of appropriateness; no additional conditions were recorded at the meeting.
