Keep Saginaw Beautiful Board - June 22, 2026

The Keep Saginaw Beautiful Board meeting held on June 22, 2026, focused primarily on community beautification initiatives and budget recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year. Key procurement-related discussions included prioritizing the Bailey Boswell overpass mural project, with city council feedback favoring a phased approach starting with two to four pillars due to funding constraints. The board agreed to pause smaller projects like the banner installation program and the Willow Creek Park Instagram spot to concentrate resources on the mural. Budget allocations were proposed, including $1,400 for the Yard of the Month awards and increased funds for holiday decorations, while mowing services were budgeted at $3,200. The board approved a motion to recommend the first budget option to city council, emphasizing the mural project as the top priority. Additionally, the board reviewed recent expenditures such as a $750 traffic control box wrapping and discussed potential future projects, including additional box wrappings near schools, though these were not prioritized over the mural.
