REQUEST FOR LA PORTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AGENDA ITEM <br /> Appropriation <br /> Agenda Date Requested: 4/4/11 <br /> Source of Funds: Capital Improvement <br /> Requested By: Stacey Osborne <br /> Account Number: 015- 9892 - 992 -11.00 <br /> Department: CMO <br /> Amount Budgeted: $75,000 <br /> Report: Resolution: Ordinance: <br /> Amount Requested: <br /> Exhibits: Signage Options Budgeted Item: YES NO <br /> Exhibits: <br /> Exhibits: <br /> SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br /> At the March 7, 2011 meeting of the La Porte Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the EDC received a <br /> report regarding way - finding signage for the City of La Porte. We presented several options for locations for the <br /> signage, and had a discussion about the costs associated with the designs the Board had selected from those <br /> presented by Landscape Architects Clark Condon & Associates. <br /> Estimated costs for the sign options we had presented earlier were approximately $25,000 per sign, which would <br /> total approximately $250,000 for all ten signs. The Board expressed the desire to see sign design options that were <br /> more within the approved budget for this project. This presentation shows some of those options, with estimated <br /> costs. <br /> If this direction is satisfactory for the Board, Staff will move forward with bidding the project out. <br /> While custom - designed for our City as the other options were, these options are attractive and will certainly serve <br /> the purpose of providing direction for visitors and residents. Staff recommends moving forward with this direction. <br /> Action Required by Economic Development Corporation: <br /> Provide guidance to staff. <br /> • oved for La orte Development Corporation Agenda <br /> f arm- 3- <br /> R . : ottoms, City Manager date <br />
