CRA approves $78,000 gift for downtown planter program
Summary
The CRA approved a resolution to amend the fiscal-year budget to include a $78,000 gift from Deb Gillen to continue the downtown planter program on 1st Street and around the basin; the resolution passed on a voice vote during the consent/general agenda.
The Community Redevelopment Agency approved Resolution CRA 2025-09 to amend the CRA budget to include a $78,000 contribution from donor Deb Gillen for the downtown planter program serving 1st Street and the basin area. Staff presented the donation and recommended passing the resolution so the program could continue.
"This is a resolution amending our budget to include a gift of $78,000 from Deb Gillen for our ongoing planter program," staff said during the presentation. A commissioner moved the item, another seconded, and the board approved the amendment by voice vote.
Commissioners thanked the donor and reiterated that the funds would be used to continue planter installations downtown. The item was approved as part of the formal agenda; no separate roll‑call tally was recorded in the public transcript beyond the motion and voice vote.
