City of Lawrence

Mayor and City Commissioners

CC:

Date:

February 2006

 

RE:

Draft Downtown Beautification Plan

 

Pursuant to City Commission direction, the City retained the firm of Bartlett and West to prepare the attached draft beautification plan. The plan provides an important planning tool for the continued enhancement of our downtown area and reflects this significant Commission goal and priority. The additional 2006 expenditures of $90,000 in the draft plan reflect the Commission’s 2006 adopted budget.

 

Commission confirmation on this planned expenditure in 2006 of the budgeted funds is desired.  Future year expenditures set out in the plan will be reviewed during the annual budget preparation process.
