AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of the April Community Improvement Award
MEETING DATE: April 5, 2000
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Mayor present Charles Easterling with the Community
Improvement Award for April 2000, to recognize the improvements that he
has made to the property located at 1 N. Sacramento Street,
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In early 1998, a fire vacated the Pine Hotel which occupied the
upper floor of this property located on the Northwest corner of Pine
and Sacramento Streets. That fire caused substantial structural
damage to the upper floor occupancy and smoke and water damage
to the first floor storefronts, several of which ended up closing permanently.
The property owner at the time, did some internal repairs to the building and eventually sold the property
to Mr. Easterling. Since that time, Mr. Easterling has done a substantial amount of exterior fagade
improvements; polishing the marble panels along the bottom of the storefront windows and installing
awnings just to name a few. Although the upper floor occupancy remains vacant, Mr. Easterling has
done a great job of filling the first floor storefronts with new tenants.
For his efforts in carrying on the revitalization of a downtown property, the Eastside Improvement
Committee felt that he was deserving of the Community Improvement Award.
