Re: Special meeting on Oct. 27, 2022
The Lakeside BID board needs to decide how it wants to proceed with Christmas decorations.
There are really five options at this point:
1. A full contract with Preferred Landscaping for 60 tree light wraps and 45 light poles
wrapped in red with plastic garland. The materials can be reused and the cost will be
less next year. $17,695
2. Do only half of the Preferred Landscaping work. The lighted tree wraps would be
$11,332. The light pole wraps would be $6,363.
3. Get Christmas by Bailey to wrap the light poles and use fresh garland that is for one year
only. Last year's cost was $5,100. The problem might be that Bill Bailey is having trouble
sourcing the fresh garland.
4. Do no Lakeshore Drive Christmas decorations and hold BID-CIA funds for future snow
removal and summer landscaping work.
5. A final option would be to put some financial resources toward producing and
promoting Holidays in Lakeside event.
I have put last year's agreement in your packet with the overall quote from Preferred
Landscaping.
Staff has no recommendation. These are BID funds generated through special assessments and
the board really needs to make the decision on how to go forward.
You now have an estimated $28,000 between the BID and CIA. Your snow contract is basically
covered by annual revenues. Money spent this year will not be replaced in 2023. The CIA
revenues of $7,400 this year will grow in the future.
