< BURBANK - New signs will be installed in downtown Burbank, a children's film festival has been scheduled and a program to attract new businesses has been established to help create a shopping and entertainment mecca, officials said Thursday. The Burbank Redevelopment Agency agreed this week to spend more than $870,000 for the signs, other improvements and the business incentive program, but declined to approve the full package of amenities proposed by the agency staff, including a kiosk kiosk Originally, in Islamic architecture, an open circular pavilion consisting of a roof supported by pillars. The word has been applied to a Turkish summer garden pavilion and a type of early Persian mosque. with information about shops and restaurants. And the agency, which consists of the City Council members, only narrowly approved funding for a screen to cover up often overflowing o·ver·flow v. o·ver·flowed, o·ver·flow·ing, o·ver·flows v.intr. 1.

Boulevard. ``That's going to be subject to putting together an agreement with the property owner,'' said Robert Tague, director of community development. ``We want certain conditions because we're not going to put this in place and then have them propping the doors open and trash spilling out again.'' The largest expenditure the agency set aside was $700,000 for the business incentive program, a marketing and finance package to lure lure the skin-covered object which runs on a monorail on a Greyhound racing track and which the dogs are schooled to chase. The lure must be kept 30 to 40 ft ahead of the leading dog so that the field is stretched out. businesses to the area. The city is particularly interested in filling three large storefronts, J.J. Newberry's, Inca and Crown Books. The agency also will invest $25,000 to design new signs that will better point visitors to parking lots and to the shopping district from the freeway. And finally, the agency approved $50,000 toward a Children's International Film Festival planned for the Media City Center's AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) See AdvancedTCA. 8 Theaters in October. Some proposed expenditures were not acted on because they involve future budgets. The votes to spend the money were largely unanimous but only three of the five board members agreed to spend $27,000 to build the trash enclosure enclosure (inclosure) n. land bounded by a fence, wall, hedge, ditch or other physical evidence of boundary.

Agency officials said they've been working to make businesses in that area comply with city codes but each points blame at the others for the mess that builds up around the trash cans. So, since the city has built these trash screens before around the Village area, the redevelopment staff decided it was time to do the same here for the sake of the public. Although the money was approved, that reasoning didn't sit well with many on the redevelopment board. ``I'm happy to help contribute and help businesses but to have someone who refuses to (do) that and step up and help them is sending the wrong message,'' said Councilman David Golonsky. ``It doesn't make any sense that we're rewarding someone for not taking care of their property.'' |
