DISCUSSION The 2005 annual assessment budget for the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) provided $110,000 for sidewalk steam-cleaning maintenance. Representatives of the Downtown have expressed the need for all the streets in the BID area to be cleaned on a regular basis. The $110,000 of BID funds will enhance the current contract by including all the secondary streets in the BID area. Beginning November 9, 2005, the enhanced steam-cleaning program will allow for three linear blocks to be cleaned each night, five nights a week, Wednesday through Sunday. Based on this schedule, it takes five weeks to complete one full cleaning cycle for the major arterials and six weeks for the secondary arterials pursuant to the delineated areas in the attached map (Exhibit 1). The program also allows for additional cleanings as needed for major spills or to prepare for events. In addition, the colored sidewalks that have been installed as part of the South Main Street Enhancement project need to be cleaned three times a year. The sidewalks will be cleaned in November, February and May. The amount to perform this service is $20,000. 25H-1
