Subject: Holiday Lighting Displays
In the last few months, the Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority (EDA) has been
discussing the purchase of holiday decorations and banners to be placed on the street lighting
in the Cottage Grove business districts. At :he June EDA meeting, the EDA approved of the
layout and purchase of the incorporation of the Christmas tree, candy cane, and snowman
banners.
Attached are two figures that illustrate the layout of the Christmas tree, candy cane and
snowman banner. Figure 1 illustrates the East Point Douglas Road South business district
area from VFW Red Barn to Bo Street South. Figure 2 illustrates the 80 Street South from
Hinton Avenue South to Hadley Avenue South, East Point Douglas Road South from the
Sunbelt car dealership to 80 Street, Hardwood Avenue South from 80 Street to East Point
Douglas Rd South, and the Hadley Avenue South from Presbyterian Homes to Belden
Boulevard business district areas. The layout that the EDA decided on was to have the candy
cane, banner, and Christmas tree on the street light poles as shown in figures 1 and 2.
Holiday Decorations and Banner Costs
The cost of the holiday decorations and banners is approximately $34,000. The EDA is going
to contribute $20,000 from the EDA Special Revenue Fund and the additional $14,000 will be
contributed from the Economic Development Trust Fund. The Economic Development Trust
Fund will be reimbursed as donations are received.
Holiday Decorations and Banner Donations
City staff advertised in the May Cottage Grove Reports that the city is accepting donations to
offset the costs, which are being partially paid for by the City's Economic Development
Authority. City staff will continue to advertise for donations in the Cottage Grove Reports, on
Facebook and on the city's website.
Council Action
Authorize staff to purchase holiday decorations and banners as approved by the Cottage
Grove Economic Development Authority.
