Favorable Action — Order: An order requesting approval to appropriate by borrowing $3,000,000.00 to fund Everett Square Improvements

Minutes, page 9

Adopt orderFailed · 4–6

16. C0127-24 Order/s/ Councilor Robert J. Van Campen, as President An order requesting approval to appropriate by borrowing $3,000,000.00 to fund Everett Square Improvements. Mayor Carlo DeMaria appeared to discuss the Everett Square improvement project. He stated the current square is in poor condition and these upgrades would make it more user-friendly for community events and outdoor dining. The total project cost is estimated at $5 million, with $1.4 million from a gaming commission grant, $600K in a legislative earmark, and a new $2 million earmark pending - leaving potentially only $1 million the city may need to bond, though the full $3 million bonding is needed to put the project out to bid. Councilors asked questions about notification procedures, timeline, traffic impacts, parking, and effects on current square features. The blighted Bouvier building was also discussed, with the Mayor agreeing it needs to be taken by eminent domain for public use. Some councilors expressed support for the project as a needed investment, while others had reservations about the cost, borrowing, parking impacts and prioritizing other city needs. After debate, a motion was made and seconded for favorable action on item 16 to appropriate $3 million for Everett Square improvements. The motion failed 4-6.
