Park Signs Design
Adjourn
A discussion of the Park signs that where needed as well as some directional signs to the parks. Some Banners for the Downtown area where also discussed. Neil Boltic came to the meeting with a few different sign designs and plenty of information on the different options the committee had. He had vinyl covering plywood signs, and also the same design using aluminum. These signs had an edge cap trim to weatherize them. He stated the cost for the different designs where all pretty equal. He also showed an open cell polyfoam sign. The Polyfoam is a material commonly used in making surf boards. The Foam Board cost was approx. $70-75 per sq. ft.
The banners he spoke of, where at a cost of $8.00 per sq. ft. in which both sides where printed. These where approx. 6' in length, and looked very nice. Neil stated that the ADA has a standard that signs must be at least 7' above the sidewalks. He stated that Hudson created their own policy that the signs must be at least 8'6" above the sidewalks to stop damages from being done to them.

He also showed a corrugated plastic core sign, that could be used for the Rules signs. This was at a cost of $20-22.00 per sq. ft. He also had a Dibond material, that is practically indestructible. The cost per sq. ft. was $30.00

He brought some PVC material to be used for lettering on the bathrooms, which could be connected directly to the building with an adhesive or silicone. The cost for this was very minimal he added.

The informational signs could be made for approx. $50-70.00 per sign. He added that all these signs could be color coded, to help direct people to there destinations.

He also showed everyone a design with large letters and backlighting that showed a halo style lighting when lit. The cost of this was a little higher right now, due to how new the sign designs are. He added the cost of redwood and cedar are pretty high at this time. The committee agreed to have him do a little plan, and come in for the Village meeting in May, to give another presentation to them. They also asked if he could bring a sign or two for that meeting. He agreed, and the meeting came to an end. The meeting lasted approx. 1 1/2 hrs.
