CRA reallocates $175,195 to replace downtown light poles amid streetscape work
Summary
The CRA approved a walk-on request to transfer $175,195 to cover downtown light-pole replacement costs that exceed existing budgets, with the transfer coming from capital-improvement/transfer accounts to support the streetscape project.
The Community Redevelopment Agency approved a walk-on funding request to address a shortfall in the downtown streetscape project’s light-pole replacement line. Director Hilton Terry told commissioners the public-works overhaul required expenditures beyond the CRA’s planned $50,000 annual replacement budget and asked the board to transfer $175,195 from the CRA capital-improvement transfer to cover the work.
A motion to move the funds was made, seconded and passed on a voice vote. Board members asked whether old lamp components had scrap value; staff said public works would be asked to investigate potential resale or salvage options. The director read the staff motion and the board confirmed the transfer and approved the purchase authorization.
