Main Street merchants ask Bristow to fund multi-year Christmas lights package
Summary
Main Street Merchants Committee asked the city to pay Comets Custom Christmas Lights for installation, removal and storage for lights on three downtown buildings, the large tree and Main Street lights, with a reduced three-year pricing proposal; council took no decision on funding at the Oct. 20 meeting.
Machelle Willis of the Main Street Merchants Committee presented plans for the city’s Christmas on Main program and asked the city to pay Comets Custom Christmas Lights for purchase, installation, removal and three-year storage for lights on downtown buildings and the central tree.
The minutes record Willis’s request and a cost outline: initial and subsequent-year prices listed for three buildings (appearing as $4,700.00 then $3,000.00), the big tree ($2,000.00 then $1,200.00), and Main Street lights and City Hall trees at $5,000.00 for the next three years. Councilmember Judd Johns thanked Willis for the presentation; the council did not make an immediate funding decision in the Oct. 20 minutes.
The minutes’ cost lines are written in a compact format and appear to reflect an initial installation price followed by reduced annual rates; the council or staff should clarify the precise payment schedule and whether city funding would cover all or part of the listed amounts before any contract or purchase order is issued.
