As such, horizontal schematics are to be delivered to City Hall later this month. This documentation will therefore result in an additional public presentation regarding proposed enhancements, as well as the opportunity to work with respective property owners to acquire easements necessary to execute the project. If all goes well according to timetable, actual construction activities may be initiated later this fall! Award from Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Program The City of Sebastian currently enjoys the opportunity to secure a funding from a relatively new grant program sponsored and administered by the United States Bureau of Justice Assistance. As referenced in the attached electronic mail message as delivered by Ms. C. Camille Cain, Acting Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sebastian Police Department is being awarded $11,265.31 from the agency's Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Program, to help finance the purchase of protective body armor for police officers in our community. Documentation to govern a funding agreement, including directions relative to online advance payments, will be delivered in the coming weeks. Actual equipment purchases resulting from this accomplishment will be made commensurate with the Fiscal Year 2003/2004 Adopted Annual Budget! City Council Information Letter July 11, 2003 Page 2 New Banners for 2003~2004 - Community Banner Services Pursuant to the City of Sebastian's agreement with Community Banners Services (CBS) relative to the installation of privately sponsored decorative banners in our community, please find the attached color rendering (personal copies) of the banner to be featured during the next twelve (12) months. As the community recently celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Pelican Island, it became appropriate for this year's theme to offer acknowledgement accordingly. Actual installations, to be performed by private crews commissioned by CBS, are to begin within the next few weeks. Jackson Street Extension As staff is currently working to finalize official acceptance and closeout of the Jackson Street Extension Program, please be advised that arrangements are also being made to install decorative street lamps as well (identical to those currently located along Indian River Drive). These installations are anticipated to be completed within the next few weeks. This aspect of the project represents the final component of improvements accordingly, as governed in our agreement with Capt'n Butcher, Inc. In addition, we were able to address the concern raised by Councilmember Joe Barczyk during Wednesday evening's session about 'No Overnight Parking' signage, by simply having the signs removed yesterday. The City of Sebastian enjoys the ability to direct this action as a result of the aforementioned efforts to conclude the program, as well as to officially and permanently declare Jackson Street a public thoroughfare.
