"Motion to approve expenditures from 2006 budget for Downtown promotional activity for Main Street Reconstruction. Decker moved, seconded by Juergens, to authorize payment from the committee's 2006 budget of $1950 to Lamar Advertising for rental of billboards on Hwy. 14 north of the City, and on Hwy. 213 south of the City during the period April - September 2007. Total rent will be $3900, per the contract previously executed. Local businesses have to date contributed $1100 toward the rent, and an additional $450 is expected to be received during the week of October 23. With follow-up calls, the private-sector contributions should easily exceed $1950. Further promotional activities for 2007 are under development by the Downtown Reconstruction Task Force.
