Weekly sidewalk washing, daily cleaning and up-keep, as well as other on- <br />demand cleaning requests cost the district approximately $19,000 a month. RCIA funds <br />additional cleaning services for the City-owned garages on Marshall Street and <br />Jefferson Street, beyond the City’s budgeted services. J&A Services, a minority-owned <br />Redwood City business, provides these services in the district. This important service <br />ensures that our community and guests find a pleasant atmosphere when visiting the <br />Downtown. <br /> <br />In addition, to the cleaning services, the SOBO committee also funded this past year: <br />· 150 new tree lights located along Broadway and Main Streets <br />· The Floral and Fauna murals featuring native animals painted by artist Jane Kim <br />· New tables, chairs and umbrellas located on Courthouse Square and Theatre <br />Way <br />· Four new emergency Automatic Emergency Defibrillation (AED) units <br />· Fifteen pet waste bags and dispensers <br />· The Magic Lantern show created for the 150th Anniversary of Redwood City <br />· A $25,000 sponsorship to 150th Organizing Committee <br />· Upgrades and maintenance to the Holiday trees located at Hamilton and <br />Broadway <br /> <br />Some upcoming projects this committee is pursuing for the coming fiscal year include <br />interactive mobile digital art installations, interactive digital information kiosks, new <br />Smart Cities technologies such as free Wi-Fi, and expanded Magic Lantern showings. <br /> <br />6.3.C. - Page 2
