to bring forward beautification enhancement project suggestions for discussion at the
September meeting, i.e. tree plantings along Willow Street, addition of metal fish, etc.
5-b. Discussion -- Winter Banners
Frates presented the new winter banners and requested comments; he noted every
other pole along the Spur Highway could have the banner attached along with lighted
pole decorations; and, Airport Way and Willow Street could include similar winter

visible during daylight hours).
