Patronage at the facility has escalated in recent years to <br />over one million persons serviced annually. <br />Staff is implementing a marketing and facility improvement plan for The <br />Depot to help promote the City and the facility to the varied customers <br />visiting on a daily basis. One component of the plan is to install up <br />lights on the palm trees in the courtyard and twinkle lights on the <br />ornamental rod iron archway that the customers walk through when <br />entering The Depot from the train. The City currently has a contract <br />with Dekra-Cite in the amount of $8,900 to install the holiday <br />decorations in the Downtown. The additional cost to install the <br />lighting at The Depot is $13,100, which would bring the total contract <br />amount to $22,000. <br />Based on the quality and performance of past projects, Dekra-Cite is <br />recommended to perform this work at The Depot. <br />25S-1 <br />
