HHWNC Environment/Beautification Committee Meeting

Call to order at 6:07 PM

Agenda Item

Hollywood Gateway

Merle Singer has an interest in completing the Hollywood Gateway area and sign. For 10 years the sign has not been lit, she would like to ask the neighborhood council for $4000 to repair one of the letters of the "Hollywood" sign. The letters are laminated glass panes and cost approximately $4000 per letter.

Merle is asking the adjacent neighborhood councils and the business improvement developments groups for funding for the remaining 3 letters that need to be repaired dues to vandalism/cracks in the letters.

Currently there is no additional funding.

Currently there is no ongoing maintenance or repair fund for the area. Merle would like to have an annual fundraising event to cover these costs.

Currently Merle has a ‘lightyourlegacy.com’ website asking for an $500k endowment to fund all current and future requirements for the ‘Gateway’. This is against current NC guidelines as NC’s cannot fund areas/items that have corporate or some other type of sponsorship.

The sign is currently set up to have a rainbow of colors through fiber optics that randomly change at a set interval.

There was no quorum at the meeting so no vote for a motion was available.
Public comment was the this is a very important project to the area and that they would support the NC in doing good work such as this and would love to see it happen {lighting of the sign}.

Meeting adjourned at 6:35PM
