ESCANABA -- The Escanaba City Council will discuss more beautifications to Ludington Street at their regular meeting this evening.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. today at City Hall, 410 Ludington St., Room C101.
Council members are expected to consider renewing a grant match commitment of $37,000 for the purchase of a variety of flowers, pots and baskets to be placed on Ludington between the 200 block and the 900 block.
Enhance Escanaba -- a non-profit organization dedicated to initiating, designing, constructing, restoring, promoting and funding beautification projects in the city -- will reportedly seek out a grant for $25,000 to cover the remaining costs, according to the council's agenda.
In other business, council members are set to:
Consider hiring Payne and Dolan for $42,875 to pave two alleys located on the south side of Ludington Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets and 4th and 5th Streets.
Consider hiring Dombrowski Tree Service to clear snowfalls of two inches or more and operate a Zamboni at the Ludington Park Ice Rink at a cost of $487.50 per occurrence. The ice rink project was initiated and partially funded by Enhance Escanaba. The public also donated $76,423 to the cause.
Consider administration's request to approve of a five-year hosted phone system lease with DsTech, of Escanaba, replacing the city's current system that will expire along with the phone system warranty support.
