the State Fair. Request for funding in the amount of $10,000. Gene
McCloud, Dan Naranjo and Cindy Johnson spoke on behalf of the BID 7,
explaining the shortage of funds that has fell upon the BID. With the
increase in electrical, snow removal and the labor to replace the mulch
that has depleted they have exhausted their funds. They have talked to
other owners down South Locust who have also helped pledge $4,000 to
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 8/4/2010 Page 6 / 18
help spruce up South Locust. They noted they did put down rock on south
Locust and Hwy 34 due to the heat from the concrete being too much for
vegetation. Johnson noted there are not a lot of landscapers that are
willing to commit to the maintenance for a set fee for five years. There is
just too much work to be done for the amount of time and money involved.
