The development of business seminars focusing on Village programs,
maintenance, and building improvements was discussed. The Commission
recommended that the ICRC should provide assistance to the Elk Grove Chamber
events rather than sponsor separate meetings. It was noted that the majority of
company's have limited time to attend meetings and/or schedule maintenance or
construction projects. The Commission recommended that a parkway maintenance
brochure be developed to seek assistance from businesses. In addition, a more
comprehensive Village maintenance program for the Business Park should be
developed. The program should evaluate the cost of Village versus private
maintenance contracts. Additional ICRC funds should be allocated to ensure the proper
establishment of median and parkway plantings within the first few years. The hiring of
a media relations firm to promote the ICRC programs and improvements will be
discussed at the next meeting.
The selection of sign posts for he Business Park was discussed. The cost
of black coated solid posts is approximately double the cost of the standard galvanized
posts. The Commission agreed that the standard galvanized posts would be used for
the street sign installations.
Other business items discussed included the removal of old street name
posts at signalized intersections along Busse Road. Also, the feasibility of restricting
parking opposite Wiley Washer on Greenleaf Avenue was discussed.
The next meeting for the ICRC will be November 2, 2000. The October
meeting has been cancelled.
