City of Elk Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 9.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Worksession November 17, 2014 Tina Allard, City Clerk RaeAnn Gardner, Communications Coordinator Item Description Reviewed by Wayfinding Program Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested 1. Direction on design concept. 2. Review the project schedule. 3. Provide staff direction with the Wayfinding Program. Background/Discussion At the October 6, 2014, meeting, Council stated they would like a worksession to discuss the design of signage for the Wayfinding Plan. Council is asked to reference attached staff report dated January 21, 2014,which explains why staff has requested this program. Many of our long-term development plans call for the need of connections and wayfinding. All city signage should be tied to a theme established through a Wayfinding Program. The Wayfinding Program will help tie all development plans together so they are not being completed as silos. Currently, staff in various departments complete signage projects on their own with no consistency and sometimes done incorrectly because they are not technical experts in this field. Having this plan would create a consistent signage family that fits with the city's branding,beautification and fit proper standards for design readability. The Wayfinding Program is a long-term guiding document.Visual will put together a full spec plan and projects will be bid out as they're needed and budgeted. The current value of our city street/park signage system is approximately$1.2 million. Financial Impact Wayfinding maintenance is already included in annual budgets of various departments. Other wayfinding projects have been budgeted in the Capital Improvement Plan by departments based on Council's vision, goals, and adopted development plans.
