SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
A District Improvement Program application for $17,500 has been approved by the District Improvement Program Internal Committee to provide funding for the purchase and installation of a neighborhood sign for the historic Englewood neighborhood in District #4. This project will replace the old deteriorated wooden neighborhood sign that has reached the end of its useful life and no longer reflects the pride nor vibrancy of the neighborhood.

SECTION 1. That a sum of $17,500 is authorized for expenditure from the Capital Improvement Fund Account Code 5040-10100-8CP2318DNGPRO from the District Improvement Program for the purchase and installation of a new monument neighborhood sign near the intersection of Forest Ave and Lincoln Ave. in the Englewood neighborhood.
