Redevelopment staff: utility‑box art in production, code‑enforcement walk identifies 25 properties, Main Street lighting options under review
Summary
Staff reported utility‑box art production is underway (change order pending), a code‑enforcement walk identified about 25 properties for potential citation, and the city is exploring year‑round light‑pole lighting on Main Street with roughly 60 poles under consideration.
At the start of the staff report, Angela, the redevelopment staff member, told the board the utility‑box artwork vendor is in production and purchasing is preparing a change order. She corrected an earlier figure and said the quote the department has on record is for $1,616,143. Angela said the first portion of the utility boxes should be ready in about two weeks once the purchasing change order is processed.
Angela also reported a morning code‑enforcement walk on the beachside that identified approximately 25 properties for possible citation; the effort was a multi‑department walk that will be repeated in other neighborhoods. The board praised the initiative and commended the police and code‑enforcement staff for the work.
On streetscape improvements, staff described options to wrap light poles from Ocean Avenue to Halifax Avenue with year‑round lighting. The board discussed single‑color versus color‑changing fixtures and electrical reliability concerns on older poles; one member estimated there are roughly 60 poles along the corridor. Staff said Public Works would manage contracts and that final procurement would run through usual purchasing rules and competitive bidding.
No final procurement awards were made during the meeting. Staff committed to share updated procurement documents and timing with the board.
