Commissioners approved a facade improvement grant reimbursement for 323 East Washington at the Sept. 9 meeting.

Staff said the applicant seeks reimbursement up to $5,000 for masonry repairs, window reglazing, sill replacement and repainting. Two bids were provided: Bullfrog Contracting LLC for $11,210 and Aspen Shade Management LLC for $12,750; the city’s 50/50 match means the city’s cost would be the $5,000 maximum under either bid. "The applicant applicant is requesting up to $5,000 for a facade improvement grant," staff said during the presentation.

The commission opened a public hearing for transparency; no public speakers addressed the request. After a motion to approve as recommended by staff, commissioners voted by voice and the motion carried. Staff noted the applicant must complete the work and submit for reimbursement; the city retains $15,000 available in the facade fund for future applications.

Next steps: Staff will guide the applicant through contracting and reimbursement requirements once work is completed and documented.
