Item # 8.3.B. <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director <br />DATE: September 14, 2005 <br />SUBJECT: Woodland Trails Entrance Sign Change <br />Item: <br />Woodland Trails Entrance Sign Change <br />Background: <br />In January of 2005, the Park Commission reviewed plans for an entrance sign to Woodland <br />Trails Park. The sign had a field stone foundation and timbers supporting a sign panel. The <br />budgeted amount was $10,000. Initial quotes came in at $20,000. Staff worked with a local <br />Boy Scout who was going to attempt to raise money and construct the sign. Fundraising was <br />unsuccessful. <br />Staff has reworked the design to stay on budget. The landscaping around the sign could be <br />done as an Eagle Scout project. The estimate for this sign, installation, and landscaping <br />materials is $7,500. Staff believes that this new design is cost effective, references existing <br />city park signs and is easily reproducible in our other major parks. In addition, the previous <br />design was similar to several of the signs for developments that have gone up in the last year. <br />Changing the design will insure that the entrance to Woodland Trails Park will be unique and <br />identifiable. <br />Action Requested: <br />Approve the design of the Woodland Trails Park sign. <br />Attachment: <br />Sign Concept <br />
