There were 8 vendors signed up as of Friday but \n more came through over the weekend. \n Well-O-Rama / Kallie: $9,000 raised in sponsorships so far. Food vendors have been \n booked and we will be seeking approval from Larimer County for the event, as it may be \n over 500 people. Overland Sertoma has been booked, as well as 2 musical acts, Matt \n Skinner and Mountain Duo. 20 other performers have expressed interest and we have \n room for 2 more. \n Front Porch Friday / Sarah: Sarah will be stepping back from this committee for now as \n she has more on her plate than she can’t comfortably handle. She is either requesting \n we put these events on a temporary hold or pass on to somebody else who has time \n and interest. We can always add it back onto the Promotion Committee’s plate as well. \n It’s suggested that we take a break through the summer and all of our events and \n resume in the fall/winter months.","bbox":{"left":0.205915,"top":0.048485,"width":0.701198,"height":0.311124}},{"text":"-","bbox":{"left":0.176503,"top":0.08548,"width":0.006003000000000008,"height":0.015151999999999999}},{"text":"-","bbox":{"left":0.176503,"top":0.159419,"width":0.006003000000000008,"height":0.015151999999999999}},{"text":"-","bbox":{"left":0.176503,"top":0.251995,"width":0.006003000000000008,"height":0.015151999999999999}},{"text":"3.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.381427,"width":0.014950000000000005,"height":0.015151999999999999}},{"text":"Director’s Report \n - USDA Development Grant \n i. Letters of support have been submitted by both the Town of Wellington and the \n Wellington Main Street program. They are in the review process now. \n ii. If selected, the process will likely start in June. \n iii. This grant would offer a great deal of opportunities for community engagement. \n - Revitalizing Main Street Grant \n i. The Town will be writing the $2 million public works infrastructure grant, \n including downtown sidewalk updates. The deadline for that grant application is \n May 14th, 2021. \n ii. Wellington Main Street program will be writing the grant for the $150k grant to \n help address the downtown lighting, replacing benches throughout downtown, \n and updating/replacing trash cans to include clearly marked trash & recycling \n containers. \n iii. If we receive the $150k grant, we have 8 months to complete the updates. \n • \n It’s asked if this will pose an issue if our lighting work is completed before \n the Town potentially tears up and replaces sidewalks. Luckily, all the \n lighting, bench and bin updates we’d be making are fairly mobile and \n flexible, so it wouldn’t be an issue. \n iv. This grant request was not formally brought to the board, so please speak up if \n there are any issues. A committee made up of Sarah, Anita & Kallie have worked \n through the grant requests. No concerns from the board. \n v. We do have the opportunity to apply for a total of $250k, even through a \n separate grant application, so if there are ideas, please bring them forward. \n - DOLA Consultative Services \n i. We are drafting an application to use DOLA consultative services to hire \n professionals (Mead & Hunt) to review the grant applications mentioned above.","bbox":{"left":0.147098,"top":0.381427,"width":0.7612620000000001,"height":0.49690700000000004}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
