Mr. O Connor said he will recalculate the cost estimate with this option. He said they would have 51% approval if this reduction is implemented. Mr. Khan researched the $,1 bill from Utica s engineers. He said their engineers had to complete a study of Utica s present and future capacity and conclude if they could handle more flow, which is possible.

Old Business Review Signage sample (Design Committee): The board members reviewed the draft street sign samples and decided making the leaf portion of the trees yellow would add more color and show continuity.

They will have new samples at the next meeting. Old Business DDA Liquor License Update: This topic was left on the agenda in error. New Business Review Contract from Jim Eppink on Streetscape Project Oversight: Mr. Wynn said Jim Eppink submitted a revised contract to add a contractor, to provide oversight to the Streetscape Project, for a maximum of 1 hours or $1,25.
