A total of $20,000 was budgeted with a maximum City contribution per project of $5,000. All projects would be considered on a first come, first served basis. At this time, projects with Shady River HOA and Fairmont Park HOA have been completed or are in progress now. At total of $10,000 is currently unencumbered. However, staff is currently working with two additional associations to develop projects. One of these is the Bayside Terrace Civic Club and the project identified by the HOA is ready for Council consideration. Bayside Terrace HOA has obtained a quote for a neighborhood entryway sign. The total project cost is estimated to be $7,600. The HOA is asking for the City to contribute $5,000, the maximum available for the project. As this would not be an addition to a City -owned and maintained facility, the on -going maintenance responsibility would lie with the Bayside terrace Civic Club. Action Required by Council: Consider approval or other action authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Bayside Terrace Civic Club for a Community Cooperation project (new neighborhood entryway sign).
