Holiday Decoration Bids
City staff Floyd noted Council approved [awarded] the holiday decoration bid to Street Décor, Inc. The bid
will also be discussed at the next Finance committee meeting, as a budget amendment is needed.
Chair Lucarelli said this is a quality product and will replace the current garland [across Bay Street].
City staff Floyd mentioned Public Works staff Thiele will find other locations to hang the old garland.
Review of Upcoming 2018 Event
Chair Lucarelli said this is the 20th year and we should come up with something different. We also need to
come up with a theme. She provided an overview of the Festival to new Port Orchard citizen Laura.
The committee discussed a mini-tree decorating contest; chili feed; incorporating more lights into the
event; and seeking sponsors for prizes for the tree decoration contest.
Chair Lucarelli asked the committee to come up with ideas for a theme that includes trees, and new
events for the Festival which will be discussed at the next meeting. Additionally, the committee will
discuss the tree decorating contest and the specifications, rules, and permits, that might be required.
There being no further business, Chair Lucarelli adjourned the meeting at 4:11 p.m. Audio-only
recording was successful.
