4. Topic: Discussion of renaming Commerce Street to Pine Street.

Presenter: David Walsh
Purpose: Staff members researched the issues surrounding re-naming Commerce Street to Pine Street.  The actual financial cost to the city would be relatively minor (mostly just purchasing new street signs and paying for staff time to make the necessary recording changes and community notifications), but the change deviates from the City’s policy regarding how streets are numbered.  This numbering change would be inconsistent with how the City has proceeded with other development.  Staff requests direction from the Council on how they would like to proceed.

 

5.Topic: Motion 06-506 request to hold the annual Christmas Parade.

Presenter: Claude Lois

Purpose: The Chamber proposes to hold the annual Christmas parade on the usual first Friday in December, stepping off at 6:30 p.m. The Chamber invites the Mayor and Council to participate in the parade as well as light the City’s Christmas tree in Wehmoff Square. Per direction from the Council this item is placed on tonight’s Council agenda for consideration.
