Selma BID approves event booking, minutes and $1,500 for Fourth of July decor

The Selma Business Improvement District board approved several routine and event-related items this meeting, including the minutes, a booking for May 22 and a not‑to‑exceed budget for Fourth of July decorations.

On a procedural motion, the board approved the minutes that had been mailed to members earlier; the motion carried by voice vote after a second. No roll-call tally with individual votes was recorded on the record beyond the chair's voice vote; a quorum of six of eight was present for the vote.

On events, the board approved staff's recommendation to book the four‑piece country band Houston Avenue for May 22 at a quoted cost of $840 (sound and lighting included). The motion was made by Board member Rose Robertson and seconded by Ramsea Corey; the motion carried by voice vote.

On seasonal decorations, staff presented several sample options for Fourth of July tree‑well decorations (lighted flags, stars and USA motifs). After discussing quantities, storage and whether to source some items locally, the board approved a not‑to‑exceed allocation of $1,500 for Fourth of July decor; the motion was seconded and carried.

What this means: the minutes are the official record, event bookings proceed under the approved budget amounts and staff has authorization to finalize decor purchases within the $1,500 limit and coordinate storage and reuse logistics.

Provenance: minutes approval was discussed and voted in SEG 026–042; the Houston Avenue booking motion was discussed and voted in SEG 1494–1662; the Fourth of July decor budget motion was discussed and voted in SEG 1664–2001.

No ordinances or resolutions were adopted by the BID at this meeting.
