<br /> <br /> 2 <br />Downtown Permanent Public Fixture Policy <br /> <br /> <br />Purpose <br />The Elk River Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the “HRA”) recognizes the need for <br />appropriate permanent fixtures available for general public use in order to maintain a safe, clean, <br />and accessible downtown area to preserve the vitality of the business district and prevent the <br />emergence of blighting conditions. <br /> <br />Definitions <br />“Downtown area” refers to the area designated “DD” in Exhibit A. <br />“Permanent public fixtures” are fixtures placed on a non-temporary basis for general public use <br />and includes, without limitation, light poles, other lighting, benches, planters, trash and recycling <br />receptacles, and bicycle racks. <br />Budget <br />The HRA shall set aside a portion of its budget each year for the purposes of acquiring, installing, <br />and maintaining permanent public fixtures in the downtown area. <br /> <br />Expenditures <br />The HRA shall determine what expenditures are made for permanent public fixtures in the <br />downtown area. To ensure the needs of the downtown area are being met, the HRA will accept <br />recommendations and requests for specific permanent public fixtures from the Downtown River’s <br />Edge Association (“DREA”). In determining how to allocate its downtown area permanent <br />public fixture budget, the HRA may review the recommendations and requests of DREA. <br />Requests and recommendations made by DREA are for advisory purposes only. Whether the <br />requested or recommended expenditures are made is solely the decision of the HRA. <br />Expenditures may be subject to city approval and/or public bidding laws as applicable. <br /> <br />
