On March 28, 2000, the Agency/Council approved the reimbursement of up to $150,000
to the Housed of Blues for landscape median improvements on Main Street. The first
phase of the improvements have been completed. The improvements consisted of palm
trees with up-lighting and ground cover at both ends of the median. The second phase is
