Frates, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: April 3, 2018 RE: Street Pole Decorations - 8’ Falling Stars Attached is a picture of an 8’ Falling Star for use on the street poles during the winter months. My recommendation is we purchase these to replace the old wreath displays along Willow Street. A number of these same displays were purchased this past fall for Airport Way and we received favorable comments. Going with the same displays would provide more continuity between the two prominent streets (Airport Way and Willow St.). There are also some new LED bulbs (color changing) that I think would provide a nice affect. 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Telephone: 907-283-7535 / FAX: 907-283-3014 Page 15 of 22 (This page was intentionally left blank) Page 16 of 22 Page 17 of 22 (This page was intentionally left blank) Page 18 of 22 Kenai City Council Meeting Page 1 of 4 April 18, 2018 ACTION AGENDA KENAI CITY COUNCIL – REGULAR MEETING APRIL 18, 2018 – 6:00 P.M.
