Council approves $15,000 contract with Galesburg Downtown Council for expanded maintenance
Summary
The council approved a maintenance contract with the Galesburg Downtown Council to extend streetscape and litter-control services outside the downtown special service area at an annual city cost of $15,000 funded from the economic development fund.
Staff recommended a maintenance contract with the Galesburg Downtown Council to provide defined maintenance services in high-visibility areas outside the downtown special service area; the city will pay $15,000 annually from the economic development fund (Fund 24). "The annual cost of the additional maintenance services will be 15,000 and will be funded through fund 24, the economic development fund," Mr. Hansen said, describing the organization's existing staff capacity and experience with streetscape maintenance.
Council members voiced support for the partnership, noting long-term history of cooperation between the city and the downtown council and the contract's role in promoting beautification and potential redevelopment. The council approved the item by unanimous roll-call vote.
