Motion carried 5-0. 5.5 Downtown Streetlights Ms. Slominski presented the Downtown Streetlight Installation and Maintenance Agreement Between ERMU and the City,previously a memorandum of understanding established in2012. Ms. Slominskithenhighlightedseveral key points in the agreement. ERMU will provide the labor toinstall the brackets on the designated streetlights as they need to be repaired or replaced, with the City providingthe materials. ERMU will continue to hang the bannersas needed but not annually. The City willcontinue toprovide the hanging baskets, put them up and take them down, and maintain them. ERMU will partner with the City to maintain the trail lights, however, the City will provide the replacement lights and materials as they differ from those ERMU has in inventory. ERMU will continue to hang the flags as it has done in the past on a specific number of poles that already have the brackets on them. Ms. Slominski noted there are three blank appendices on the agreement which will eventually contain maps that identify specific streetlights, trail lights, and poles mentioned in the agreement. Ms. Slominski called the Commission’s attention to two corrections that needed to be made in the Agreement. The first sentence of Section 3.0 Maintenance of Streetlights and Trail Lights should read, “As owner of City streetlights, ERMU shall provide all material costs and labor associated with maintenance of all streetlights located within the City.” The effective date should be May 16, 2022. Chair Dietz sought clarification on what entity would beplacing the hanging basketson the streetlight brackets. Ms. Slominski explained the City contracts with a florist to deliver, hang, and maintain the baskets. Commissioner Westgaard asked if there should be specific language in the agreement stating that ladders should not be used or leaned against the poles for any reason. There was discussion. Commissioner Bell sought clarification on language in Section 5.0 Attachment of Brackets to Streetlights pertaining to the replacement of the banners. It was determined the agreement should read, “ERMU will install replacement banners provided by the City when banners are damaged or due for replacement.” Moved by Commissioner Nadeau and seconded by Commissioner Westgaard to approve the Street Light Installation and Maintenance Agreement Between ERMU and the City with the changes discussed.
