Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 <br />August 14, 2019 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />7.2 Park Pavilion Roof Colors <br /> <br /> Mr. Hecker presented his staff report. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Holmgren asked if the color was for one shelter or all of the shelters system <br />wide? <br /> <br /> Mr. Hecker stated that the standardized color would go for all shelters now and in the future. <br /> <br /> Chair Anderson stated that the Woodland Trails committee favored the Hartford Green and <br />Mansford Brown. Some members did not like the red option in natural setting. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Holmgren would like to go with branding to match the wayfinding and thinks <br />the red might be too bright. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Niziolek stated it would be nice to have a common element such as the stone. <br />Does not like the bright color rooftops. Have standard elements not necessarily roof color. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Williams stated this is a marketing/branding standard and one color should be <br />used. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Loidolt thinks we are opening up Pandora’s box with too many colors and <br />should stick to one color. There reds in nature, green in uniforms, this is a marketing thing and <br />Elk River is Red. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rathbun stated to have one color and that it is standardized throughout the <br />community and supports the Woodland Trails committee nature colors. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson stated that standards change; he has seen the park signs change three times <br />since being on commission. Shelters are unique to each park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Soltvedt would prefer a standardized color scheme for shelters, likes the idea of <br />consistency of tying the colors from the wayfinding signs. <br /> <br /> Council member Wagner asked why we are using a different vendor then the downtown park <br />shelter. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker stated that the consultants recommended the Poligon shelters because of their <br />high quality. <br /> <br />Council member Wagner stated that the red roofs at Rivers Edge Commons Park still looks <br />good.
