Dean spoke for Laurel Alive and said the Caboose project is close to completion. There needs to have
some edging installed, put a sign up, matting and mulch to be put in place. Girls softball is scheduled to
provide food the May 18
Lighting for the awning and moving current street lights need a LURA vote for money to be committed.
The awning is estimated to cost between $20,000 to $25,000. A grant is in place to pay $4,673 from the
Montana Arts Council and Laurel Alive will match but more money will be needed. The Mayor pointed
out the timing to get everything completed by July 1 is tight. Things like permits, building owner
approval who the Mayor will contact, the contractor to do the work needs to be available, etc.
