1. Holiday Lights — update
Lights were approved at March 12 meeting. They have been purchased — 60% deposit - $6000 has been paid/receipt
submitted. Scott will pick-up — saving us the $250 delivery. On one side of the street the lights can plug in to the
street lights, on the other side we will need extension cord. Veridian needs to check the condition of the plugs. Frank
to follow-up with Veridian.
2. Web update — Karen asked Sandy to work away on the website. Received quote from Studio Peterborough — roughly
$4,000. This will filter in with Tri-Counties funding for our brochure. Deadline is June & July — we can use information
from the quote for the application. Website will have events calendar, pictures of members/business, highlight
offering. Sandy to get quote from 368 Durham for what we require — similar to SP.
3. Financial Update — not available
4. Benches — ABC (company providing the bike racks) received a quote for benches. $16,000 for six benches. Karen has
applied to Capstone for benches - $11,000. Investigate if there is CIP money available. Scott will get another quote
for benches from same company that is doing the Christmas Lights.
After we recover from COVID-19 we will do a dedication for the bike racks with bikers and for the benches
5. EV Charge Stations — good place would be at the library. Marg suggested maybe piggy back off the Region. People
could park/charge — then visit/shop/eat/ in the downtown. Karen — market Orono as a "Green Community" and
Investigating more with Region and municipality.
