FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
provide direction
Sufficient funds are available in the Street Landscape Operating
Budget for the options presented.
DESCRIPTION: Earlier this year, the City Council requested options for holiday
wreaths to adorn the recently installed green light poles on Village Parkway. The wreath is intended to be
center-mounted on the light pole, in the area between the arms holding the lower light fixtures and the
fixtures at the top of the pole. Due to the close spacing, it is proposed to install the wreaths on every other
pole, resulting in a total of 18 wreaths.
PG&E requires a separate metered circuit for lighted decorations, which is not feasible given the existing
light poles. Staff spoke with several vendors regarding the possibility of solar or battery powered lights
and was informed that these are not currently available. However, this issue may be re-addressed in the
future if and when advances in technology make this option viable.
Staff is proposing a combination of a three-ply reflective pine wreath with a red bow to adorn the holiday
wreaths requested by City Council (Attachment 1). The combination described falls within the budget
provided and will beautify the City during the holiday season. Installation and removal of the holiday
wreaths will be performed by the vendor (Sierra Display).

Two types of garland are available: two-tone natural pine and three-ply reflective pine. The two-tone is
the most basic option. The three-ply reflective version contains reflective elements in addition to the two-
tone natural pine.
Staff is requesting direction regarding the type of pine material. The decision on holiday wreaths is time-
sensitive, as the vendor needs sufficient time to receive, construct, and send the order to the City before
the arrival of the holiday season.
Staff recommends that the City Council consider the options presented and provide direction regarding the
choice of wreath and bow.
