We presented several options for locations for the signage, and had a discussion about the costs associated with the designs the Board had selected from those presented by Landscape Architects Clark Condon & Associates. Estimated costs for the sign options we had presented earlier were approximately $25,000 per sign, which would total approximately $250,000 for all ten signs. The Board expressed the desire to see sign design options that were more within the approved budget for this project. This presentation shows some of those options, with estimated costs. If this direction is satisfactory for the Board, Staff will move forward with bidding the project out. While custom - designed for our City as the other options were, these options are attractive and will certainly serve the purpose of providing direction for visitors and residents. Staff recommends moving forward with this direction.
