4. Update: Marque & Lights
Mayor Putaansuu presented the update of the marque, regarding its access for the Merchants
Association to string holiday lights onto. The long term goal would be to attach holiday lights to the
street light poles. The current street lighting plan calls for street lights only on the South side and
bollards on the North side of the street. Public Works Director Dorsey and Mayor Putaansuu have
scheduled a meeting with Puget Sound Energy to discuss updating the City's lighting plan to include
lights on both sides of the street. The plan would be to look into a phased implementation for the
downtown lighting project into four quadrants.
Bruce Titus Ford is starting demolition the beginning of July, and the City is going to meet with Puget
Sound Energy (PSE) on undergrounding that block. Discussion will be had with PSE to see if there's
an opportunity for the City to get involved, before the frontage is redeveloped.
Councilmembers, Mayor, and staff discussed the downtown master plan for redevelopment,
potential challenges, and contributions affecting the next mid -biennial budget adjustments.
Council Direction: No direction was given.
